Press Release: The Planet Debuts Network Video Tour

Provides Insider’s View into the Company’s World-Class Data Centers in Houston and Dallas

HOUSTON, July 2, 2007 – The Planet, the world’s largest privately held dedicated hosting company, today launched an online video that features a virtual tour of its sophisticated network. Supporting 22,000 customers and more than 45,000 servers, the network video follows its previous virtual tour of the company’s six world-class data centers in Houston and Dallas.

The Planet’s network delivers unsurpassed network capacity and speed with instant scalability; a parallel, redundant, multi-tiered network routing and switching architecture; along with multi-layer security that guards against evolving Internet threats. Operating at 100 gigabits per second, the network eliminates traffic jams and roadblocks, providing customers with high-volume, instantaneous responses for their Web hosting services.

“Small and medium-sized companies juggle managing their businesses with the requisite demands of building IT systems to support their operations,” Steve Kahan, vice president of marketing and product management for The Planet. “Rather than debate which hardware, software, bandwidth or applications they need, The Planet offers an entire range of solutions, expressly tailored to meet each customer’s specific requirements. Whether it’s e-commerce, streaming media or a robust, content-rich site, we eliminate the expensive, time-consuming requirements of building an IT infrastructure. The Planet is the competitive equalizer that allows SMBs to go head-to-head on an even playing field with their bigger, better-funded competition.”

The Planet’s network is designed without single points of failure, which means the network operates with full redundancy for its core routers and distribution switches. The company also offers carrier diversity, with connections to seven Tier-1 telecommunications providers. As a result, customers never face obstacles or suffer from poor peering connections, sub-optimal routing paths, or congested or oversold networks that limit the power, speed and availability of their sites.
