Companies all over the country from a wide range of industries enlist Exodus to host interactive e-commerce sites. The Internet has revolutionized the way companies do business.
Customers can purchase goods and services at any time of the day or night on any day of the year.
In order to stay competitive in the electronic marketplace, companies with Internet commerce sites must have reliable, functioning Web operations. One way to ensure constant availability is to distribute a company's e-commerce Web site. If the main server becomes unavailable, Internet consumers are rerouted to other servers that have copies of the data and application. Exodus was implementing Microsoft Site Server 3.0, Commerce Edition to facilitate the hosting of diverse e-commerce sites, but was finding it difficult to replicate information for its customers who requested site distribution. Many of Exodus' customers use Microsoft Site Server with the Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 database.
