Promotional Campaign to Also Begin With the Release of the Service On July 7
TOKYO, July 7, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Internet Initiative Japan, Inc. (IIJ) (Nasdaq:IIJI) (TSE1: 3774) and U.S.-based subsidiary, IIJ America Inc., today announced the introduction of a next-generation hybrid server to the Point Red hosting service. In addition, initial startup fees will be waived for new customers who sign up between July 7 and August 31 as part of a promotional campaign.
Point Red (http://www.pointred.us) is a hosting service that provides servers in one of three configurations: shared, virtual private, and private. These servers reside on IIJ Group's broadband backbone to provide the optimum connectivity environment. The new hybrid server has both advanced features and complete redundancy and is offered at an even lower cost. Though a virtual server, the new hybrid server provides features that rival those of private servers.
Below is a list of feature highlights.
Service Features
* Self-managed service that allows the customer to manage their own
server domain.
* A range of software applications can be installed in addition to
the Web server.

* RAID-6 is used for the storage system, ensuring a high level of
reliability.
* Up to four fixed IP addresses can be assigned.
* Server and network equipment is fully redundant to achieve the
stability and availability demanded by businesses, and is ideal
for managing sites on which stability and reliability are
critical.

and large sites that receive many simultaneous accesses.
