LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2001--

Aceweb Internet (http://www.aceweb.net), a Los Angeles based Internet service provider, announced today that it has upgraded its Internet infrastructure by installing twenty-four pairs of fiber optic and dual-redundant OC-3 hardware. The new configuration gives Aceweb the ability to provide up to 155 megabits of bandwidth per pair of fiber. The additional bandwidth has enabled Aceweb to make available a variety of new Internet connection and web hosting services. The company will be offering dedicated server and co-location options that will allow clients to house their own web servers at Aceweb's Los Angeles data center. In addition to bandwidth, Aceweb will offer various service and support packages hosting to its clients.
Aceweb will also be offering dedicated T-1 (DS-1) and T-3 (DS-3) lines for clients that require high-speed Internet connections at their own facilities, allowing them to host high-traffic websites or provide high-speed Internet access to their employees.
The new infrastructure and bandwidth capabilities will now allow Aceweb Internet to compete with the major Internet backbone providers and co-location facilities.
The increased bandwidth was also necessary, in large part, to meet the increased traffic at SoftwareArchives.com (http://www.softwarearchives.com), which is the portal to all of the operating system archives maintained by Aceweb Internet.
The SoftwareArchives network has been significantly expanded in recent months, with the addition of sites for BeOS(R), Macintosh(R), Java(R), Windows2000(R), and computer game software. The additional sites, as well as the growing popularity of the existing Windows NT(R), Windows CE(R), Linux(R), and Palm Pilot(R) sites, has greatly increased the network's traffic.
Aceweb obtained their bandwidth from InterNAP Network Services (http://www.internap.com). Aceweb originally switched its Internet backbone connection to InterNAP in 1999, and has found that InterNAP's unique traffic-routing technology has significantly reduced packet loss and increased overall traffic speeds on the network.
