24/7 Real Media carefully assessed the possibilities before making its business decision. Art Dolimpio, vice president of support services said, "We investigated the quality of the infrastructure and services to ensure we would get the absolute reliability that we required."

24/7 Real Media reviewed other providers, assessing factors such as financial stability and network quality. "We are adding new customers every week, and the global presence of the NTT/VERIO network, along with its performance and capacity, quickly helped us narrow the list of choices," said Dolimpio. "These considerations, coupled with Verio's expertise, solid standing and track record in the industry, led to our decision." By adding NTT/VERIO network and hosting services, 24/7 Real Media is able to deliver incremental capacity to support the growing demands of its customers. "As we continue to see sustained levels of growth, we are continually assessing our infrastructure needs to meet those needs today and in the future," he added.

To ensure it was building in additional redundancy to its existing
infrastructure, 24/7 Real Media added services from two NTT/VERIO data centers, one on each coast. "We've improved our system resiliency through the addition of new infrastructure and services as well as increasing our diversification of resources," Dolimpio said. "We've also realized a reduction in cost through deployment of the newer, more cost-effective technologies that Verio offers."

Verio assisted 24/7 Real Media with the migration process into the NTT/VERIO data centers, and provided a tested methodology and process to facilitate this transition.

"As 24/7 Real Media continues to leverage the full power of the Web to deliver its business solutions, we are pleased that the NTT/VERIO infrastructure, network and services will help it to meet its business needs," said Isabel Ehringer, president of Enterprise Hosting for Verio.
