Altera Selects Exodus' Managed Hosting to Support Its Corporate Internet Presence
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 3, 2001--Exodus
Communications®, Inc., (Nasdaq:EXDS), the premier managed hosting
provider for enterprises with mission-critical Internet operations,
today announced that Altera Corporation (Nasdaq:ALTR), has chosen
Exodus® to host and manage its Internet operations. Altera chose to
outsource its Internet operations to Exodus based on the company's
ability to provide a complete value-added solution, rapid solution
delivery and optimal security features, including managed intrusion
detection. Altera's pioneering system-on-programmable-chip (SOPC)
solutions address its customers' needs from prototype to production.
To successfully deliver on this commitment, scalable and reliable
web-enabled information exchange and transactions among Altera, its
customers and suppliers is vital.
Exodus' managed hosting services reduce risk with a single point
of contact and accountability and increase cost-effectiveness,
security, scalability and time to market, providing completely
outsourced solutions for Internet operations. Exodus' managed hosting
solves customer problems of increasingly complex Internet
infrastructure through either a standard, pre-configured, automated
solution or a custom solution tailored to meet individual company
needs.
``We chose Exodus to manage our Internet operations for several
reasons including its proven track record in the hosting industry, its
ability to get a company's Internet operations up and running quickly,
its flexibility and its strong emphasis on security,'' said Dave Swan,
Manager of Global Network Operations, for Altera. ``By leveraging
Exodus' hosting expertise, we are able to focus on our core
competencies and continue to provide our customers, suppliers and
employees with superior quality and service.''
Companies today are increasingly recognizing the need to outsource
their Internet operations in order to reduce their total cost of
ownership and focus solely on their core business. In a report from
June 2001, Forrester Research states that firms can save 25% to 80% of
their Web infrastructure costs by hosting. As the host of
mission-critical Internet operations for more than 4,500 companies in
the world's largest global network of Internet Data Centers, with a
trusted brand name, Exodus is uniquely poised as the leading fully
outsourced solution provider in the managed hosting market. Exodus
offers a variety of services, including system and network management
solutions and professional services, to help ensure optimal
performance, availability and security for customers' Web sites.
