Web Site Development and Hosting Service Lives on FlashDisk Organization Profile - www.goingv.com Based in Matthews, North Carolina, three-year old Going Virtual has built its Web site development and hosting service based on “oneness.” The next generation middleware software, has allowed this company to build one model for the creation and replication of reusable Web sites, as one big database. Going Virtual used its object-oriented Reusable Web Frameworks to build its first master site called the Planned Giving Design Center (www.pgdc.net), a virtual community for non-profit organizations to handle estates bequeathed to them. From this one master Web site, Going Virtual has replicated more than 80 individual Planned Giving Design Center sites and hosts all of these sites. The non-profit organizations defray the cost of their Web site by getting corporate sponsors. The one-of-a kind Planned Giving Design Center includes a reference library of content written and maintained by nationally recognized legal, tax, and planned giving experts. Each custom site also includes local news and additional resources for planned giving professionals. Most of the sites belong to community foundations located in specific geographic regions FlashDisk Customer Profile As Told By Going Virtual “Since we're hosting other peoples' Web sites, we've one copy of the content of our database. Our software allows one Webmaster to replicate that infrastructure an unlimited number of times, and, at the same time, tailor the site, and build and maintain a network of Web sites all in one place. We can't afford to lose a disk drive if there is a problem. Since all of our Web activities would be living on the storage system, we added a RAID storage device to our SunUltra Enterprise 350. We evaluated Data General's Clariion, along with other vendors' RAID storage devices. Price to performance ratio was important to us. For the money, you couldn't beat the FlashDisk from Winchester Systems. Each of the FlashDisks is attached to the SunUltra Enterprise 350, which is on a switched 100-Mbit ethernet network. As a safeguard, we added spares on each of the disk drives. So if there is a problem with a drive, either the Webmaster or I can pop the old drive out, and then pop in the new one-all while the FlashDisk is running. But we haven't had to worry about hot swapping any FlashDisk parts. We haven't had a problem since we plugged it in. More Applications to Hit FlashDisk Given the performance of the FlashDisks, we're packing them with more projects. We're building a reusable Web site model for the banking industry. We're also building a new version of our middleware. Both the banking Web model and the middleware will become commercial products. Our middleware will allow us to build these big business models unlike anything you've seen on the Web before.”
