FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Canon GHO selects LexiConn to host website for PGA TOUR event.
COLCHESTER, CT – June 10, 2002 – LexiConn Internet Services,
a privately held provider of web hosting and e-commerce services, announced
today that it has been selected by the Canon Greater Hartford Open to
provision web hosting service for the upcoming PGA TOUR event.
With tens of thousands of visitors expected to browse the Canon GHO
website over the week long event (June 17-23), LexiConn has put dedicated
resources and monitoring software in place to ensure that the site flawlessly
delivers web content to the fans of PGA golf. The relationship with
the Canon GHO validates LexiConn’s Managed Server business model;
providing proactive support combined with cutting edge hardware solutions
to deliver content for the most demanding of websites.
“The Canon GHO presents a unique challenge,” says Robert
Mangiafico, CTO of LexiConn. “There will be a large amount of concentrated
activity over a short period of time, which means our network and services
must be able to scale up quickly to meet that demand.” The Canon
GHO is the second largest attended PGA TOUR event, which translates
to a high amount of web traffic as well.
LexiConn has provided hosting for many large companies and websites
in the past, but the Canon GHO is a special event. “It is always
exciting to provide service to an event of this magnitude,” remarks
Jason McGrath, CEO of LexiConn. “Even more importantly, it provides
LexiConn an opportunity to help out with an event that has a tremendous
impact in sustaining the community services provided by the Greater
Hartford Jaycees.”
