July 25, 2001 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Loudcloud Inc. (loudcloud.com), a leading managed services provider, today announced that Univision (univision.com), the largest Internet destination for the Spanish speaking community in the United States, has outsourced its Internet operations to Loudcloud.
r
r
Univision.com will now be deployed, scaled, managed and monitored using the
r
Loudcloud service, and its Opsware automation technology.
r
r
Univision.com provides the Spanish speaking community with the up-to-date
r
news and proprietary content from the Univision television properties.
r
Univision.com experiences large spikes in traffic, driven by major news and
r
television events. To more effectively handle the traffic load and
r
e-commerce capabilities, Univision.com selected Loudcloud to provide and
r
manage the supporting Web site infrastructure. Loudcloud’s services will
r
support Univision.com’s ability to scale on demand, as well as to provide
r
users with a secure, reliable site from which they can purchase.
r
r
“Our readers count on Univision.com as a one-stop shop for reliable and
r
consistent news, information and commerce,” said Javier Saralegui, Univision
r
Online’s president & COO. Loudcloud’s technical expertise and Opsware
r
technology allow us to provide a consistently high-quality experience to our
r
users, whether they are reading the latest news, viewing content from
r
television shows, or making purchases on the site.”
r
r
Loudcloud’s Opsware automation technology provides the foundation for
r
Loudcloud’s managed Internet infrastructure services. Opsware captures and
r
manages the numerous pieces of information, decisions and processes required
r
to deploy, manage and grow an Internet infrastructure.
r
r
“Our services offering, based on Opsware technology’s capabilities, fills
r
Univision’s need to scale their Web site as news and sales dictates, without
r
managing the dramatic and inefficient expense of purchasing and running the
r
site’s underlying infrastructure themselves,” said Ben Horowitz, CEO and
r
co-founder of Loudcloud.
