FlashDisk Cuts Storage Cost of Hosting Web Sites for Go2Net's Hypermart Organization Profile - www.go2net.com Located in Seattle, Washington, Go2Net offers a network of branded Web sites, driven by technology and interests of specific communities. These Web sites include HyperMart, a free Web hosting service for businesses; Silicon Investor, a popular financial discussion community; and Haggle Online, one of the first person-to-person auction services. In fact, Go2Net has become one of the 10 most popular destinations on the Web, according to Media Metrix Web. HyperMart has assembled more than 750,000 member businesses - the largest Web community of small and medium businesses. Each day, about 2,500 new members join the HyperMart network to take advantage of products and services developed for this business sector. FlashDisk Customer Profile As Told By Go2Net “As the largest community of small businesses online, HyperMart needed to build a foundation that would support its continued rapid growth. We wanted to build the HyperMart production facility with a stable and fast storage product that allows us to scale with our current hosting system. We also needed more disk space. At the same time, as one of the fastest growing properties on the Web, Go2Net quickly became aware that it needed to conserve storage space in its hosting facilities. Winchester Systems' FlashDisk, met both of our requirements. It provided us with high-performance, fault tolerant storage, which would enable us to provide reliable and fast access to the HyperMart Web sites. The FlashDisk helped us to bring our costs down. It required less space and cost us less per server than our previous storage solution. The FlashDisk can also provide storage support simultaneously for more than one server. It also arrived preconfigured. We figure that FlashDisk will save us about 16 hours a month in basic administration. With an organization as busy as ours, we can use this timesaving to focus on more important network tasks, rather than worrying about storage.”
