REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Oct. 11, 2000... Certainty Solutions, Inc., the leading integrated managed services provider (IMSP) for companies with sophisticated Internet businesses, today announced the availability of its first Certainty Accelerator solutions package, designed for the content publishing industry.

Certainty's Content Publishing Accelerator is a pre-integrated package of applications, hardware and operating systems, which is designed to get electronic publishers' Web sites up and running fast. The Accelerator features applications that provide functionality specifically required by content publishers, including content push, content management, banner ads management and traffic profiling. Pricing of the Content Publishing Accelerator depends on the size (i.e., number of devices) of the implementation.

"We've expanded our company's range of offerings to include the Certainty Accelerator series in order to address the increased market demand for pre-packaged Web architectures that can be quickly deployed," said Catherine Chiu, CEO of Certainty Solutions. "Based on our four years of experience providing customized architectures and managed services for leading content publishers, we've selected the optimal site infrastructure configuration and tested its performance in our in-house data center. Besides offering customers cost-efficiency and rapid time-to-market, the Content Publishing Accelerator has the flexibility to be tailored to customers' individual production environments," she added.

Certainty's Content Publishing Accelerator is the first of a number of standard platforms that the company plans to deliver within the next year. The remaining platforms will be optimized for other Internet business models.
