Verio
Enterprise Hosting Solutions Recognized For Product
Innovation By TMC Labs [October 12, 2004]
Verio also ranked among largest hosting providers
by research firm IDC
Englewood, Colo., October 12, 2004 -
Verio, a subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation
and a leading provider of global IP solutions, today
announced that its PowerPlatform Hosting framework was
awarded the 2004 Innovation Award from Technology Marketing
Corporation's (TMC®) TMC Labs. The TMC Labs Innovation
Awards honor products and solutions that demonstrate
innovation, unique features and significant contributions
toward improving technology. Of the hundreds of products
reviewed and considered for the award by the judging
panel, only a select few were chosen as winners.
PowerPlatform Hosting, designed to help
enterprise customers with their business Web hosting
requirements, comprises four key components: hosting,
managed services, support and PowerPortal, a customer
service and support portal that provides a 'dashboard'
view into a customer's systems, for monitoring and performance
of their infrastructure and services. This framework
simplifies and extends Verio's range of managed hosting
products for midsize to larger enterprises, giving customers
the ability to build out their infrastructure on-demand
by drawing on modular technology building blocks, tiered
support and enhanced services.
TMC judges recognized PowerPlatform
for its modular nature, making it suitable for both
mid-market and higher-end customers, as well as for
some more basic dedicated hosting customer needs. Additionally,
TMC Labs noted the solution's wrap-around service level
agreements; tiered support and enhanced services, such
as monitoring and reporting, managed security and storage
solutions; and Verio's PowerPortal, for customer insight
into a solution's health.
“TMC is proud to present the 2004
Innovation Award to Verio's PowerPlatform Hosting solutions.
The award reiterates Verio's leadership status in the
North American Web hosting and service provider market,”
said TMC President Rich Tehrani. “The award also
recognizes that Verio provides customers the best possible
offerings to grow their businesses and to prepare for
the next generation of hosting.”
“Verio is both thrilled and honored
to receive industry recognition for its advancements
and foresight in modular Web hosting, and the TMC Labs
Innovation Award underscores the efforts of our talented
team” said Mark Teflian, senior vice president
of global solutions for Verio. “Hosting is the
cornerstone of our business, and we will continue to
produce the innovations that provide our customers the
most flexible and rock solid solutions available.”
Verio was also recently recognized by
International Data Corporation (IDC), for its ranking
as the sixth largest hosting services provider in the
U.S. According to a recent report from IDC, Verio's
strong position in the hosting market is attributed
to more small, midsize and large enterprises relying
on the company's wide range of services, award-winning
customer service and network reliability that set it
part from other Web hosting companies in the market.
IDC predicts the U.S. Web hosting services
market will grow to $6.1 billion in 2004 - up 10.6 percent
from $5.5 billion in 2003 - and will increase to $10.4
billion by 2008.
