ViaWest Tackles Denver Broncos Online Initiatives and Helps Deliver Superior Fan Experience
The Denver Broncos (www.denverbroncos.com) franchise is one of the most well-recognized and well-respected football organizations in the country. The team is committed to providing an online experience for their fans that equals what their players deliver on the field.
Problem: The number of online users that visit the Denver Broncos site on any given game day is greater than the capacity of the entire stadium. The Broncos marketing executives need a managed hosting provider that had the breadth and depth of experience as well as the infrastructure scalability and reliability to allow the Broncos to continue to add interactive applications and to grow their online presence without increasing IT resources.
Solution: Three years ago, they turned to ViaWest's for its managed hosting, database administration services, load balancing, application acceleration and performance tuning.
CenterShift Grows its Business with ViaWest Managed Hosting and Database Management Services.
Centershift (www.centershift.com) delivers integrated and scalable enterprise applications for companies of all sizes that manage real estate assets. The company introduced its first web application, STORESM, the first web-based software for the self-storage industry in January 2002.
Problem: Looking to further develop its product line and to grow without spending increasing amounts of capital on infrastructure, systems and IT resources, Centershift turned to ViaWest for a new-level of redundancy, reliability and disaster recovery solutions virtually unattainable when the company hosted and managed its own Sun Solaris servers and application.
Solution: Today, with ViaWest's hosting and managed services, CenterShift customers enjoy faster application login times and an overall more responsive and robust application that presents data more quickly. ViaWest has been an extension to Centershift's IT staff, allowing their technical teams to focus on the development cycle of their applications and support their clients.
Exclusive Resorts Receives First Class Managed Hosting Services from ViaWest
Exclusive Resorts (www.exclusiveresorts.com) is a premier luxury residence club whose members have access to more than 280 luxurious properties in 36 resort locations around the world. The company's Web site is an essential business tool in securing reservations, promoting the Exclusive Resort brand and establishing customer loyalty.
Problem: Exclusive Resorts has substantial Web site traffic with 1.5 million page views a month on its public site and another 3.4 million page views on its members-only site. Exclusive Resort's IT team felt their pervious provider lacked the technical infrastructure and adaptable services required for the company's large-scale operations and expected growth. Working with a national-provider there was no local, technical experts to answer questions and resolve problems quickly.
Solution: Looking for greater solutions options and local IT expertise, Exclusive Resorts selected ViaWest. Because ViaWest colocation and managed hosting services are adaptable and flexible, Exclusive Resorts can add additional servers and IT infrastructure as needed. In addition, the Exclusive Resorts team also believes ViaWest's high level of customer service and technical support is a valuable asset.
