June 23, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider NaviSite (navisite.com) announced on Monday that hotel chain Hyatt Hotels & Resorts (hyatt.com) has chosen NaviSite to provide enterprise-level managed messaging and collaborative infrastructure services for Lotus Domino. According to the press release, Hyatt says it chose NaviSite for its “expertise in handling the managed messaging and collaboration needs for enterprise organizations” and its “ability to provide managed infrastructure services and application management for other systems.”
NaviSite will be upgrading and reorganizing all of Hyatt’s messaging systems for GroupWise and Lotus Domino, which includes designing and implementing a solution that centralizes and unifies the email messaging platform providing high availability, backups, data retention, instant messaging, self service and global address books.
The web host will provide Hyatt with the global management of iNotes, Lotus Notes and Lotus Sametime, as well as a fully managed Lotus Domino solution supported by messaging technicians across multiple high availability data centers with around the clock functional and technical support. ”We are excited about the opportunity to help Hyatt enhance their global collaboration through a centralized managed messaging platform,” says Mark Clayman, senior VP of hosting services at NaviSite. “As one of the leading hotel chains in the world, it’s important that Hyatt’s stakeholders are empowered with a flexible, secure and scalable messaging platform that meets their changing and immediate needs.” The company offers more than 100 enterprises relying on its managed messaging solutions, along with complete managed messaging services for both Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino.
NaviSite says it also provides installation, configuration and around the clock monitoring of the messaging solution, including hardware, operating system and application software in a fully hosted environment.
Earlier this month, NaviSite signed North Plains and MIO.TV as new customers to the Sun Solaris On Demand Program, enabling the independent software venders to move their applications to a software-as-a-service platform built on Sun Solaris technology.
