Hosted Solutions Powers Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
2009-03-09
Raleigh, NC - March 9, 2009 - Hosted Solutions, the East Coast's premier
data center and managed services provider, announced today that the company is
the official IT infrastructure host for the 143rd build for Extreme Makeover:
Home Edition. The Emmy-award winning hit reality show on ABC Television is
coming to the northeastern area of North Carolina to surprise a lucky and
deserving family with an extreme home makeover.
Several companies and thousands of volunteers are coming together in Edenton,
N.C. to implement an intense, concentrated one-week build of a new home that
will make a miracle happen for a deserving family.
Hosted Solutions is providing the IT infrastructure and services to support the
official website and central registration database for the show. As part of
this, the company is donating a fully redundant infrastructure consisting of
fully managed firewalls, load-balancing, server and storage infrastructure
supported by an enterprise class data center and multi honed bandwidth across
multiple tier 1 providers. Several Hosted Solutions employees donated their time
in the evenings and over the weekend to support this initiative.
"We're thrilled to support such a great cause," said Rich Lee, founder and chief
executive officer for Hosted Solutions. "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is an
incredible show. The way they rally an entire community to come together and
support a family in need is truly amazing. The websites for each Extreme
Makeover show experience tremendous traffic between visitors and volunteer
registration. They needed a robust platform that could support substantial
spikes in traffic. We handle high volume like that for clients every day so we
were well equipped to help. "
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is one of several charitable organizations that
Hosted Solutions supports. The company actively supports Band Together, The Boys
and Girls Club of North Carolina, Scott Hannon Memorial Foundation and The Tammy
Lynn Foundation.
