NetNation, Stormix to Power Portal

Online proofing firm Tribal DDB Canada Wednesday enlisted NetNation
Communications Inc. and Stormix Technologies Inc. to manufacture an intranet
for its internal and client communications.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

NetNation, a hosting company, domain name registrar and application service
provider all rolled in to one, and network Linux provider Stormix, erected a
Web-based solution to manage client portfolios.

Stormix built the customized server/firewall solution now co-located and
monitored at NetNation’s new IP network infrastructure.

Roger Ferguson, managing director for Tribal DDB Canada Inc., said it was
important to be completely collaborative in his firm’s sector

“We chose Stormix because of their demonstrated expertise in network
firewalls and Linux programming. They provided us with a secure solution
that is easily scalable,” Ferguson said. “NetNation was chosen for its fully
redundant multi-homed data center with high security and network
connectivity.”

Stormix Chief Executive Officer David Talmor, whose firm develops Linux
applications for small- to medium-sized businesses, said the deal was a
perfect example of how open, Linux-based solutions meet the needs of
enterprise customers.
