ServerPronto Helps Predixis Databases Rock 'n' Roll

April 27, 2006; 12:22 AM
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - When Predixis Corporation needed server power to analyze 30,000 songs in 30 days, the venture-backed digital music technology firm turned to ServerPronto (http://www.serverpronto.com), a dedicated server hosting subsidiary of Infolink.

Predixis authors MusicMagic Mixer, the ultimate music library power tool to create dynamic and interesting playlists, or mixes. MusicMagic automatically analyzes a listener's music collection for key acoustical attributes to create a custom playlist of related songs in an instant. But completing an in-depth analysis of tens of thousands of songs in a matter of days required heavy-duty server power.

"Predixis had the opportunity to analyze a 1.4 million-track collection of digital music from one of the largest providers in the market," said Dr. Matthew Dunn, CEO of Monrovia, Calif.-based Predixis. "We could have stacked servers here, but leasing 30 Xtreme Power servers from ServerPronto meant cost-effective rapid deployment. ServerPronto had us up and running within two days - from a remote location."

Predixis is not a web server story. It's not an e-mail server story. It's not even a data back up story. It's a raw computational horsepower and bandwidth story that represents a strategic market for ServerPronto - database customers. Dunn said ServerPronto offered a solution for about 20 percent of the cost of Sun's Grid Computing solution.

"Whether it's a digital music company crunching songs or a pharmaceutical company crunching molecular designs, partnering with ServerPronto means companies don't have to invest a fortune in servers for a three-month project," said Chris Kurzweg, Chief Operating Officer of ServerPronto. "Our server farm can act as a de facto grid for an organization's computational needs at a quarter of the price. ServerPronto is in the IT data center business so our customers don't have to be."

Unlike shared hosting, where multiple sites are hosted on a single server, dedicated hosting allows companies to rent the entire server. Beyond multiple port options and affordability, ServerPronto offers many other customizable features, plenty of OS options, server grade parts, and a 99.999% uptime guarantee. The firm's reinforced Data Centers offer redundant power, lightning fast fiber connections and 24X7X365 support from a staff with more than a decade of networking experience.
