Cable & Wireless USA is offering an all-in-one service that makes it easier for small to mid-size companies to get on the 'Net.
The WebReady service offers dedicated 'Net access with hardware and software from IBM, Microsoft and Cisco so users can move business to the Web quickly and inexpensively. The service includes:
- Dedicated Internet access from 128K bit/sec to T-1 1.544M bit/sec
- IBM Netfinity 3000, 5000 or 5500 servers
- Lotus R5 Mail Server software
- IBM WebSphere Studio and Application Server
- Microsoft Windows NT software
- Cisco 2610 or 2613 router with IOS firewall software
Cable & Wireless will provide 24-7 monitoring of WebReady customer connections, servers and routers, says Art Medici, senior vice president of marketing at Cable & Wireless USA. A separate dial-up connection will be configured on each WebReady Web server so that if a customer's Internet access link goes down, Cable & Wireless can still reach the Web server to run diagnostics, he says.
WebReady is available now for up to $2,000 per month for a dedicated T-1, IBM Netfinity 5500 server and Cisco 2613 router.
