Is your e-Business ready for the future?
The evolution of the Internet remains fast and furious, creating a fertile ground for business growth. The key to your customers’ satisfaction is delivering a good web experience – fast response times, competitive functionality and security will keep them coming back. Previously, building e-Business infrastructure has been a patchwork and haphazard challenge - marrying service provider offers for hosting content delivery, and streaming to integrate your infrastructure. Today, what companies want is a fully integrated and proven approach to managing e-Business.
Digital Island is the leading global Managed Internet Infrastructure Provider. Some service providers specialize in single areas of Internet operations – like hosting, content delivery or network services. Other providers are regional and unable to service customers in the next state or province, country or continent. Only Digital Island has an integrated offering to support global commerce. Our worldwide network provides an integrated infrastructure for e-Business with fully enabled e-commerce capabilities that allow companies to focus on their core business, increase revenues and customer retention, and deliver better interactions and transactions for their customers.
Manage and integrate your e-Business services on a global scale.
Oceans and time zones are no longer barriers to conducting commerce and to supplying information and content worldwide. Customers in Paris and Pittsburgh are as important as customers in Beijing and Boston. That’s why Digital Island’s integrated e-Business infrastructure services make sense.
Previously, different vendors, networks, protocols and databases supported your e-Business operations with no true accountability. Digital Island reduces the risk and complexity implementing e-Business by orchestrating best-of-breed e-Business technologies under one roof. You benefit from highly scalable solutions built from the ground up using proprietary technologies designed to work with each other seamlessly.
Growing your e-Business on Digital Island’s worldwide network provides you with truly global capabilities. We back our services with industry-leading Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that cover network services, hosting and content delivery. Our industry-leading SLAs guarantee that we’ll deliver your mission-critical data reliably every time and everywhere. That’s vital – especially when your competitors are just a click away.
Digital Island delivers what successful e-Businesses
need – speed, reliability and consistency around the world.
Digital Island builds its innovative integrated services on the Digital Island
network, instead of relying on public networks to transport critical
e-Business applications. A three-tiered, global content distribution system
spans more than 30 countries, linking global data centers built on a private
fiber optic ATM backbone that utilizes only the best carrier-grade equipment
and servers to guarantee performance and uptime.
Commerce Content Distributors located in major metropolitan markets throughout the world are tied to the Digital Island backbone through an all-fiber-optic network. They, in turn, are tied to Content Distributors located at the edges of the Internet in close proximity to end-users.
Our network utilizes a unique Best Distributor Selection (BDS) process that detects and avoids Internet congestion for the quickest delivery of content to your customers. We’ve also heavily invested in the physical infrastructure of our network – including global data centers staffed 24 x 7 x 365, security and operations experts, network reporting and monitoring, and proactive customer service.
