(Hong Kong, May 2,
2001) - PSINet Hong Kong ("PSINet"),
a wholly owned subsidiary of PSINet Inc., the Internet
Super Carrier, is pleased to introduce a new value-added
managed service, Smart ManagedServer (SMS), together
with eSoft. Realizing the dramatically increasing usage
and need for online communications through the Internet
by small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), SMS offers an
hassle free and economical managed solution for them.
PSINet, the Internet Solution Center, has been offering
a full suite of Internet solutions, including fixed
and wireless, that meet the needs of businesses ranging
from small-and-medium-size companies to the Fortune
500 in an increasingly global economy. Unceasing recruitment
of various solutions of different scales into its comprehensive
profile of service offerings enables PSINet to better
serve the customers. To continue the momentum, PSINet
launches this value-added service, SMS, tailored for
SMEs with a heavy usage or great needs for online communications.
Many SMEs are looking to optimize the usage of the
Internet to lower the cost of conventional methods of
doing business, shorten transaction delays, achieve
just-in-time inventory management and accurate sales
reporting, etc., only to find limited technology investments
and a lack of Internet knowledge and understanding their
greatest barriers. Secure and optimized online communications
are inevitable for them.
Layton Lok, General Manager, Business & Corporate
Development of PSINet, is delighted to announce, "SMS
is a managed solution especially for SMEs to offload
the burden on their IT resources and help them optimize
their bandwidth resources as well."
SMS provides a whole array of functions with its extensible
features. The followings are its current service offerings:
- Private Mail Server
SMS enhances email performance by serving as a private
email server to secure email delivery and retrieval.
It significantly enhances the performance, flexibility
and functionality of email communication of offices.
In addition, SMS manages the administration of accounts
and provides daily backup of server configuration to
secure clients' data and information in the event of
server failure.
- Web Proxy Server
SMS enables a better control of Web traffic by serving
as an internal Web caching proxy server for quick retrieval
of frequently accessed Web pages. Web access speed will
then be enhanced with the decrease in Internet traffic.
SMS takes care of all the maintenance including hardware
maintenance and software update.
- Managed Security
SMS allows to build a secure Virtual Private network
(VPN) for transmission of data on the Internet. Thus,
SMS provides SMEs with managed security which allows
a secure Internet access channel and protection from
external illegal access.
- Simple Office Network Management
With SMS, SMEs are able to have a simple office network
management. SMS helps SMEs allocate the Internet resources
to staff according to their work requirement by deploying
user authentication for browsing the Internet.
Lok emphsized, "our service is unique in terms
of quality and cost of ownership, and we are one of
the first ISPs to offer this kind of managed server
solution particularly for SMEs." He added, "While
constantly adding more functions and features into our
managed server solution in the near future, we now have
special offers for SMEs and solutions bundled with PSINet
Secure Office for the need of remote access of office
LAN."
Matthew Lau, Country Manager, PRC/Hong Kong, eSoft
Inc., said, "We are excited about our partnership
with PSINet which brings a significant value-added solution
to SMEs looking to expand and optimize their online
communications and business Internet productivity. We
will give full technical support to PSINet in the delivery
of this managed service."
