NaviSite’s Managed Hosting Services Offer a Reliable, Flexible and Secure IT
Environment to Support Network of Online Pet Storefronts
ANDOVER, Mass., March 17, 2009- NaviSite, Inc., a leading provider of
Enterprise Hosting and Application Services, today announced that PetsUnited,
LLC of Hazleton, PA has chosen NaviSite’s expanded line of managed
infrastructure services to run its online storefronts for selling pet-related
products, including www.dog.com and
www.horse.com.
PetsUnited owns a line of world-class online brands that deliver value-added pet
and outdoor supplies to customers. Horse.com is the world’s leading e-retailer
for horse tack, horse supplies, horse blankets and saddles. Dog.com is your
destination for dog supplies, dog treats, dog toys, dog crates and much more.
PetsUnited was proactively seeking a trusted managed hosting provider who could
deliver stability, flexibility and end-to-end support for its IT infrastructure,
which is critical to delivering the best online experience to customers. The
company needed an optimum combination of various infrastructure components
including virtualized and dedicated servers while leveraging its existing
hardware. NaviSite worked closely with PetsUnited to tailor a Hybrid Virtualized
and Dedicated Hosting solution along with a suite of managed services for its
entire IT footprint. While the web application and storage areas within their
technology stack will be virtualized to add scalability, dedicated equipment is
being provided for the associated Database and Networking tiers to meet their
needs for reliability and availability.
“Horse.com and dog.com attract customers from all over the globe and it is
critical for us to have minimal downtime, high performance and best web
functionalities,” said Dr. Alexander Tabibi, PetsUnited CEO. “We selected
NaviSite for its technology expertise and service-centric approach that extends
from the pre-sales process to post-implementation support. In addition, its vast
experience in ensuring seamless migration to a flexible, heterogeneous,
cost-effective environment made it the ideal choice for tackling our current
business challenges.”

about being the trusted technology partner helping PetsUnited build
high-availability, flexible IT environment for its business.”
