FREMONT, Calif. -- Route control innovator netVmg today announced its new FastStart(TM) Program, designed to make route control simple enough, and affordable enough, for businesses of all sizes to reap the benefits of predictable, cost-optimized Internet performance, end-to-end Internet visibility, and reliable business assurance. The FastStart program simplifies route control with a new wizard-based installation tool for the FCP 100 that reduces initial configuration to a convenient 10-minute operation. For the first time, route control has become a drop-and-insert application for mainstream business. At the same time, the FastStart Program lowers the entry-point to route control to a $4,995 upfront cost and then a small monthly recurring fee. With potential for WAN bandwidth savings of more than three times the monthly fee, FastStart customers can enjoy almost immediate payback on their FCP investment. "In the current market environment, it has become difficult for companies to make a capital commitment to new technology--even when there is significant upside savings potential," said Dan Leary, vice president of product management at netVmg. "By lowering the upfront cost for companies with moderate bandwidth requirements to adopt route control, netVmg makes the ROI a no-brainer--this product pays for itself. In a similar fashion, by simplifying the installation with auto-discovery features, netVmg has masked the underlying complexity of route control from the average user, which is ideal for companies without BGP experience." In a separate release: netVmg, the leading provider of route control solutions to enterprises and service providers, today announced that RackMy.com, a complex hosting and co-location provider, has purchased netVmg's Flow Control Platform (FCP) 100 for deployment in its newly acquired data center. netVmg's FCP enables RackMy.com to guarantee unprecedented performance to its customers from its multi-million dollar, 10,000-square-foot, carrier-class data center located in St. Louis' Bandwidth Exchange Building.
