CONXION PLACED IN RESEARCH FIRMS WEB HOSTING MAGIC QUADRANT
London, England -- April 23, 2002 -- Conxion Corporation, the reliability and performance leader in managed hosting and digital delivery, has been placed in Gartners coveted Web Hosting Magic Quadrant.*" The report is generated by Gartner Inc., Research & Advisory services, recognised as the definitive worldwide source for objective technology thought leadership.
Only 17 web hosting vendors are included in the Magic Quadrant, so were pleased that Gartner has recognised us as a key player in this marketplace," said Antonio Salerno, Conxions chairman and chief executive officer.
To create its Magic Quadrant reports, Gartner evaluates companies on the following criteria: a companys viability based on financial and management factors; service and support capabilities; features and functionality of products or services; and the nature and characteristics of the companys underlying technology. Gartner then plots the companies with their peers on a chart that shows their ability to execute, vision and focus.
Conxion, which has been in business since 1996, offers advanced digital delivery using its HotRoute Digital Delivery Network (DDN). These services include Conxion FTL, which enables global delivery of any type of digital content with the highest performance, and Conxions Cache-on-Demand which combines the latest caching technology with the DDN to serve customers content quickly and efficiently.
Conxion also offers a range of fully integrated Internet services, from fully managed MetaHosting and its SureMove offering - for companies that want to move from basic colocation to fully managed services; to highly complex hosting, including DBA services, load balancing, clustering, security and high-availability architectures.
All of Conxion services are available to support customers anywhere in the world and are backed by comprehensive service level agreements (SLAs), and customers of Conxions FailSafe access and hosting SLAs receive a 99.999 percent uptime guarantee.
Note:
| | - Gartner's Magic Quadrant positions vendors in a particular market segment based on their vision and ability to execute that vision. Conxion was positioned in the Niche Player quadrant. Niche Players focus on a particular segment of the client base, as defined by characteristics such as size, vertical or project complexity. Their ability to outperform or innovate may be impacted by this narrow focus. The Magic Quadrant is copyrighted March 2002 by Gartner, Inc. and is reused with permission. Gartners permission to print or reference its Magic Quadrant should not be deemed to be an endorsement of any company or product depicted in the quadrant. The Magic Quadrant is Gartners opinion and is an analytical representation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period. It measures vendors against Gartner-defined criteria for a marketplace. The positioning of vendors within a Magic Quadrant is based on the complex interplay of many factors. Gartner does not advise enterprises to select only those firms in the Leaders segment. In some situations, firms in the Visionary, Challenger, or Niche Player segments may be the right match for an enterprise's requirements. Well-informed vendor selection decisions should rely on more than a Magic Quadrant. Gartner research is intended to be one of many information sources including other published information and direct analyst interaction. Gartner expressly disclaims all warranties, express or implied of fitness of this research for a particular purpose.
