INIT Database Hosting Cost Efficiently Combines Oracle

Database Power with the Flexibility, Scalability, and

Security of Interliant's Managed Hosting Service

Interliant, Inc. (NASDAQ:INIT), a leading global application service provider (ASP), today announced the immediate availability of its INIT Database Hosting solution for Oracle(R) databases, offering users services ranging from license rental to full database administration. The solution also offers users the quick deployment, predictable per-user cost, and reliable delivery of an Interliant-hosted solution.

Interliant's INIT Database Hosting(TM) service offers complete Oracle database functionality in a fully managed solution, reducing the total cost of ownership and dramatically shortening the lengthy assessment and deployment phases associated with in-house implementations. This solution is targeted at the customer who has the ability to manage an application, but would like to outsource the database for reasons of complexity, scalability, and/or reliability. Interliant hosts, monitors and supports a customer's Oracle database in an Interliant data center on the proven INIT Managed Hosting(TM) platform, and provides database licenses, hardware, and database support, as well as monitoring and reporting for the hardware, operating system, and database. Moreover, as an Oracle iHost and Certified Solution Partner (CSP) in the Oracle Partner Program (OPP), Interliant has the ability to rent Oracle database licenses as part of a full range of industry-leading solutions that Interliant provides to its customers.

"Oracle has a longstanding relationship with Interliant, and the INIT Database Hosting solution for Oracle databases is a natural extension of that relationship," said Renee Knee, senior vice president, worldwide alliances at Oracle. "Interliant's offering packages the power and functionality of Oracle database technology with a world-class infrastructure and hosting platform to provide customers with database capability and services beyond what most of them could implement on their own."

"The INIT Database Hosting solution gives organizations the best of both worlds - a robust Oracle database hosted on Interliant's professionally managed infrastructure plus a full slate of DBA services," said Scott Aldsworth, director of Oracle products for Interliant. "Our depth and breadth of expertise enables us to extend services to the core database, including full database administration, troubleshooting, analysis, and repair, unlike most of our competitors who monitor only to the operating system level."

The INIT Database Hosting solution provides for two different levels of database monitoring and support: Standard and Advanced. The Standard level includes an initial assessment with custom analysis report, hardware rental, 24x7 database monitoring and support database backup and recovery, and emergency response. The Advanced level includes full database administration including 24x7 operating system monitoring and user management, proactive database management, creation and maintenance of user accounts, and annual reporting. Database monitoring and support for the Standard offering begins at $1,500 per month per server.

Interliant's INIT Database Hosting solution benefits businesses of all sizes, including small- and medium-sized enterprises that want to outsource a complex and difficult-to-manage segment of their operations. Database administrators (DBAs) are expensive and difficult to find, and Interliant's hosted solution reduces or eliminates the need for these businesses to hire, train, and retain DBAs. Large and growing companies will be able to harness the INIT Database Hosting solution to manage expansion and upgrades without the prohibitive costs of licensing, maintenance, and support.
