05 Dec 2007: First EMEA Hosting Provider for Sun Startup Essentials

Managed Hosting Specialist NTT Europe Online to Offer Sun Startup Essentials Members Secure and Affordable Hosting Solutions

London, 5th December 2007 – NTT Europe Online today announced that it was selected by Sun Microsystems, Inc. as its first EMEA managed hosting provider for its Sun Startup Essentials program in the United Kingdom.

The Sun Startup Essentials program helps early stage companies get up and running quickly while conserving cash – by offering deep discounts on a range of Sun's industry-leading technologies and services. Today’s news means Sun Startup Essentials program members can now take advantage of NTT Europe Online’s world-class managed hosting solutions at discounted rates – combining to create the perfect, affordable IT and hosting platform on which to build future success.

“The ubiquitous nature of the Internet and the growing acceptance of hosted models of software means that software companies with great applications can attract a global customer base almost as soon as they start trading,” said Rob Steggles, marketing director at NTT Europe Online. “This can be a hugely exciting as well as frightening prospect for these companies. It is absolutely essential that businesses backing themselves to succeed ensure they have a secure, reliable and scalable IT and hosting infrastructure in place from the outset.”

Steggles added: “The Sun Startup Essentials program provides start-up businesses with a springboard for growth by giving them access to a proof of concept platform and world-class technology and services at an affordable price from the collaboration of Sun and NTT Europe Online. We look forward to continuing our work with Sun and to supporting its members in their quest for business success.”
