ORACLE EXPANDS DIGITAL DELIVERY WITH CONXION
Conxion dedicates six terabytes of storage for Oracle's continued transition
to Digital Delivery
London, UK, - 9th August, 2002 --- Conxion Corporation, the reliability and
performance leader in managed hosting and digital delivery, has expanded its
relationship with Oracle to include more digital delivery and storage
services. Since June 1, Oracle has been using Conxion's HotRoute
Digital Delivery Network (DDN) for the distribution of additional software
titles, along with documentation from Oracle's online developer network,
Oracle Technology Network (OTN).
All content will be distributed from Conxion's datacentres in the US and
Europe, which Oracle already use to manage the electronic delivery of many
of its software titles, including the Oracle 9i Database.
The DDN also supports the Oracle E-Business Network (EBN) and Oracle
University Online Learning. The EBN content includes programming related to
Oracle product seminars and presentations. Oracle University Online
Learning offers classroom-simulated training for a number of Oracle products
and services.
Conxion has a large storage area network (SAN) supporting many of its
customers. For Oracle, Conxion has directly allocated six terabytes of storage
to hold more than one thousand software titles - currently all on CDs.
"Using Conxion's secure network for digital delivery of Oracle 9i has been
extremely successful and cost-effective, so we are pleased to be moving our
software and related documentation to that model," said Campbell Webb,
Oracle senior director of Web Services - Global IT. "We believe our
customers will find this method much more convenient than having to manage
multiple CDs, and this also reduces our manufacturing and shipping costs."
"Oracle has always been ahead of the curve in using the Internet to reduce
costs and improve business performance, and this further validates Conxion's
high capacity network-centric DDN strategy - which can accelerate any
application, using any OS from any datacentre," said Antonio Salerno,
Conxion's founder and chief executive officer. "By the end of this year I
think we'll see many large software companies, as well as music and movie
studios, emulating Oracle's decision to go with digital delivery rather than
make and ship physical CDs or DVD's. Conxion's ability to allow the customer
to use the server/OS of their choice, plus allow them root access, at any
datacentre, is something closed Linux box systems can't do."
