Working Assets was established in 1985 to help busy people make a difference in the world through everyday activities like talking on the phone. Every time a customer uses one of Working Assets' donation-linked services (Wireless, Long Distance and Credit Card), the company donates a portion of the charges to nonprofit groups working to build a world that is more just, humane, and environmentally sustainable. To date, over $50 million has been raised for progressive causes.
Working Assets depends on sales derived from the Internet. In order for their business to continue growing, Working Assets needed to be hosted on a network that can guarantee high availability, which they have found at INetU Managed Hosting.
"Before we moved to INetU, our website was frequently not-responsive, even though we had failover and load balancers in our infrastructure. Once we moved to INetU, with the same configuration, we started really enjoying the benefits of our infrastructure," said Bhanu Anukonda, the Director of Online Systems at Working Assets. "It is important that our website is available all the time. It is also important that our website performance be within the acceptable industry standards."
Since Working Assets has been hosting with INetU they have seen a rise in sales due to better uptime and site performance. Anukonda equates this rise to the simple fact that their web site is running optimally 24x7.
Considering the importance of both uptime and performance, Mr. Anukonda and Working Assets has been pleased with INetU's service and offer a strong endorsement of it for companies that are evaluating their hosting options: "INetU has done what it promised. They have been pro-active in terms of operational improvements and have a rapid response to any issues."
