of integrated Tier-1 Internet exchanges and a global provider of
managed IT infrastructure solutions for government and private
sectors, today announced that Ilse Media, one of the largest internet
publishers in the Netherlands, has signed a multi-year contract with
Dedigate, Terremark's Managed Hosting subsidiary, to host their web
sites in the Netherlands.
After an extensive selection process, Ilse Media decided to
entrust its web sites' hosting to Terremark's Dedigate because of the
robust, innovative solutions and the scalability offered by Dedigate's
platforms. Ilse Media is a Dutch internet publisher that includes the
news site NU.nl, Startpagina.nl, Overzicht.nl, Vindex.nl, Download.nl,
Web-log.nl, Startgames.nl and welke.nl.
"We consider continuous availability the prime criterion when
selecting a hosting partner," says Paul Molenaar, Director of Ilse
Media. "We chose Dedigate for their experience in the hosting of
infrastructures from which high-end websites are run. They provide us
with hosting that guarantees our sites' availability, 24/7. In
Dedigate we have found a reliable partner with whom we can closely
cooperate."
"We welcome Ilse Media to our expanding list of customers that
recognize the importance of reliable, cost effective, managed
hosting," says Joost Metten, Dedigate's CEO. "For Ilse Media, we
specially designed a comprehensive infrastructure using our 'Global
Load Balancing' service which disperses traffic over our customers'
systems residing in our data centers and which remove the 'single
point of failure' from the main sites' infrastructure."
