Companies, Individuals Can Establish Secure, Affordable World Wide Web Presence; InterNex WebFarm Family Offers Choice of Solutions for Web Presence.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 9, 1996--InterNex Information Services, Inc., the leading provider of high-performance digital Internet services in California, today announced the availability of its WebFarm family of services for World Wide Web (WWW) server hosting and server co-location. Now, individuals and businesses eager to develop an on-line presence have the option of sharing an InterNex Web server, leasing a dedicated InterNex Web server, or co-locating their existing server hardware at InterNex's facilities.

"By relying on our WebFarm family, companies can instantly establish a powerful, high-speed dedicated solution that connects their data to the Internet or World Wide Web," said Gloria Chen Wahl, InterNex's president. "It's a perfect solution for companies that want to get on the Internet, but don't have the resources or expertise available."

InterNex's flexible Web services include multiple virtual hosts, inexpensive per-megabyte disk space costs, and compiled access statistics, as well as interactive scripts and image map. InterNex offers the low latency and massive bandwidth of multiple close-to-the-backbone fiber connections for extremely responsive server performance and an open growth path.

The first product in the WebFarm family is the InterNex Dedicated Leased Web Server. This is a complete solution for customers that want to establish a Web server on the Internet. InterNex's Dedicated Leased Web Server plan allows a company to lease an entire server, which is directly connected to InterNex's powerful network backbone. This turnkey, high-speed dedicated solution connects a company's data to the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW), enables companies to eliminate the cost, complexity and security risks associated with maintaining a dedicated high-speed Internet connection.

The second product in this family is the InterNex Co-Located Web Server. This specialized service allows companies to physically locate their Web server at InterNex, directly connecting it to the company's robust network to instantly establish a global Internet presence. Customers can manage their Web server remotely through the Internet with easy administrative access. Plus, they can eliminate the need to procure their own Frame Relay connections, and the associated expense.

The NexWeb Shared Web Server, the third product in the WebFarm family, allows companies to launch a WWW presence by hosting a Web site on a server operated by InterNex. InterNex offers its customers an account on one of its high-performance SPARC-based servers, which are connected to InterNex's fiber-optic network backbone. This service is ideal for customers that want to create and maintain their own Web page, but prefer an outside source to maintain their Web server.

Web operators' interactions with their servers are easily conducted by remote access over the Internet itself. InterNex makes available special pricing on ISDN and Frame Relay access to Web hosting customers. The servers themselves are located in a physically secure, climate-controlled environment, and monitored by on-site personnel around the clock. In addition, complete graphic design and production services are available through InterNex's Certified Web Designers.

InterNex Information Services, founded in August 1993 by Robert J. Berger, is the leading provider of high-speed digital Internet services to individuals and businesses in California. The company offers ISDN, Frame Relay and dedicated leased line access packages, as well as a full range of third-party hardware and software products that make it easy for companies and individuals to establish and maintain a World Wide Web presence.
