HostMySite Presents the World's Fastest Server - Integrated Into an Electric Drag Bike
2009-03-10
Austin, TX, March 10, 2009 - HostMySite announced today that they will
showcase the "World's Fastest Server" at this year's South by Southwest
Interactive Festival (SXSW, Inc.). This electric drag bike, capable of going
from 0-120 mph in eight seconds, houses an integrated server that distributes
content and data to Web pages while it accelerates down the track. This
first-of-its-kind drag bike is outfitted with Web cams, GPS, accelerometer and
other sensors serving Web data while in motion.
HostMySite created this unique project to showcase the talent and imagination
that not only their employees bring, but HostMySite brings to their customers.
Visitors to
www.TheWorldsFastestServer.com are able to track the bike's progress from
start to finish and will see live footage from and of the bike and HostMySite
booth visitors during SXSW March 14-16.
HostMySite's own support employees have worked as a voluntary team during
off-hours to create the "World's Fastest Server." Project leader Shawn Darby,
who owns and manages the full service all-brand Motorcycle shop Darby Customs,
has been working to make this project a reality.
HostMySite and The Code Project, a website formed to provide developers with a
place to meet and exchange ideas, jointly announced the "World's Fastest Server"
LAMP Challenge. This contest challenges developers to create an innovative
application to run on the data feed from the high-end server infrastructure in
the "World's Fastest Server" and post an article about it on The Code Project,
www.codeproject.com. The winner, as
selected by the votes given by the Code Project developer community, will
receive a dedicated server for life from HostMySite. The deadline is March 31,
2009. Visit
www.TheWorldsFastestServer.com for more information.
"It is amazing that our team, on their own time, can build an electric drag bike
around a fully fabricated, load-balanced sever cluster in under three months,"
said Art Zeile, HostMySite CEO. "This project is an excellent showcase for the
talent and the imagination that the employees at all levels of HostMySite bring
to their work."
Once migrations are complete, rigorous testing of the new environment by the
Professional Services Team ensures the improved solution is configured correctly
for optimal performance. "Every customer is different, so every migration is
customized," said Stacy Griggs, Chief Service Officer and General Manager at
HostMySite. "Our Professional Services Team has developed an extensive
methodology that encompasses discovery, migration planning, quality assurance
and acceptance testing to ensure complete customer satisfaction."
