DediPower Helps Send Virgin Galactic Supersonic
Along with the announcement
of the groundbreaking Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo roll out is the associated
stellar new Web site. With the eyes of the world watching the news of the
first commercial space flights, the Web site is being used as a key tool to
communicate with the hundreds of thousands of people keen to discover more.
DediPower Managed Hosting has been selected to provide the stable platform the
site will rely upon for the high traffic the site will receive.
To cope with the high bandwidth demand, DediPower has put several custom-built solutions in place, including dedicated servers and a gigabit
connectivity to accommodate the high traffic volume. In addition, a 24/7
managed service will be provided to relieve Virgin Galactic of uptime concerns.
Ned RocknRoll, Astronaut Experience, Cosmic Brand and Marketing at Virgin
Galactic, said, "As a company, Virgin has a pioneering spirit and strong brand
values, and it was essential that we worked with a team that understands this.
DediPower has stepped up to the challenge, guaranteeing that our primary means
of communication with our customers is constantly available. Our customers
are very important to us. DediPower understands this and ensures our site
will be reliable. I feel completely safe and at ease in DediPower's very
capable hands."
Craig Martin, CEO at DediPower Managed Hosting, added, "We are delighted
to be working with Virgin Galactic and incredibly excited to be a part of this
revolutionary space programme. An event of this magnitude sees an inordinate
amount of people accessing the website. Our scalable solution is meeting
traffic demands, enabling Virgin Galactic to rest assured that its site is
being managed with the highest service levels possible."
In addition to working with the Virgin Galactic team, DediPower has also
been working with Virgin over the last year.
