Woburn, Massachusetts – (The Hosting News) – October 28, 2008 –
Hosting platform and enablement services, SAVVIS Communications Corporation, has been selected to support social knowledge management application provider, Inmagic.

Inmagic’s Presto, and the Inmagic Integrated Library System (ILS) InmagicGenie are available through a cloud-based service hosted and supported by SAVVIS Communications Corporation, a leading provider of managed IT infrastructure solutions.

Paul Puzzanghera, President and CEO of Inmagic noted, ”Companies, government agencies and leading not-for-profit organizations today want robust and secure environments when hosting their applications on the Internet. At Inmagic, we strive to stay at the forefront of the social knowledge management industry, while offering our customers highly secure, high-performance, and cost-effective special library and social knowledge network deployment options. Together with SAVVIS, we’re making this a reality for our customers through cloud-based hosted environments that provide the performance, flexibility, and security required for the new generation of knowledge management.”

Without the capital expense of expanding data centers, buying hardware, licensing software seats, training IT personnel, or supporting ongoing maintenance and management, organizations can harness and capitalize on the vast array of vetted knowledge and wisdom of their communities.

Presto is a new, socialized version of Inmagic’s popular knowledge repository and the industry’s first true social knowledge management platform. Genie is the company’s Web-based integrated library system (ILS) for Inmagic DB/Text – a specialized database optimized for text retrieval that lets users build networked and standalone textbases to manage information. Whether hosted internally at a customer’s data center or hosted in the cloud by Inmagic and SAVVIS, Presto provides both managed and searchable interfaces to internal and external data. This unifies structured and unstructured content – including documents, images, audio, video, Web sites, blogs, RSS feeds, and more to help organizations integrate vetted (top-down) information with social (bottom-up) content that captures the collective wisdom of the community.

However, hosting Presto in the cloud provides additional benefits for businesses and their IT organizations:

• Fast, customized deployment without the capital expense typically associated with setting up a new application inside the firewall. There’s no need to buy hardware, license software seats, train IT personnel, expand data centers, or support ongoing maintenance and management.
• Managed security, consisting of 24/7 system monitoring and management, anti-virus protection, and advanced firewall security.
• Dedicated and expandable server capacity with all server resources, including CPU, memory, disk, and server-side networking.
• Disaster recovery protection with defined restore times for system failure. Incremental backups are made daily, and full backups are made weekly and monthly, stored internally and offsite.
• Comprehensive technical support.
