NTT America Announces Release 08.4 Enhancements to the Enterprise Hosting Portfolio : New Product and Service Options Now Avail

) December 16, 2008 --
NTT America, a wholly owned US subsidiary of NTT Communications
Corporation, today announced the availability of new and refreshed
products and services as part of its Enterprise Hosting Release 08.4.
These include the availability of Windows Server 2008; new software
patch management service; new security hardware and managed security
service options; and new customer care service choices. This Release
08.4 continues the quarterly discipline of enhancing the Enterprise
Hosting portfolio of products and services to better meet the needs of
customers and target markets.

We are pleased to offer these enhancements to our comprehensive portfolio of Managed Hosting services

These new products and services enable customers to take advantage of the latest technology in server operating systems, security and server management. And with our expanded Enterprise Customer Care options, companies can now select a customer care solution matched to their own specific needs.

NTT America now supports Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows
Server 2008, as a standard service option. Customers will be able to
leverage several benefits with this newest OS release, such as improved
and hardened security to control user’s rights on the servers; improved
clustering and failover support; substantially faster file transfers;
and enhancements for IIS7 to provide faster authentication and more
powerful content compression.

Enterprise Hosting customers can now take advantage of NTT America’s
automated Windows patch management service as an option for both Windows
Server 2003 and 2008. NTT America engineers will fully test and validate
all such software patches released by Microsoft. Customers have the
flexibility to schedule the deployment of these patches to their
production environment based on their own business priorities.

Upgrades to managed security services include a refreshed set of
Proventia Multi-Function Security hardware options to meet the
cost/performance requirements of a wider range of customers at different
phases of growth. Managed security services have also been modified to
provide target customers with greater price flexibility for support and
policy changes.

NTT America has now expanded its Enterprise Customer Care to support
service flexibility and choices. Standard service, delivered to all
customers, continues to provide around the clock technical support;
direct access to certified engineers; provisioning and billing support;
and access to billing history and real-time performance data via the
customer portal. Three new service levels are available to augment
standard customer service, and include options such as: dedicated
support for technical issue resolution and escalations; on-going monthly
or quarterly reporting and review; project management; and professional
services support. With either the standard service or one of the new
service levels, customers can be assured that their outsourced IT
infrastructure is getting the precise level of attention, care and
support they require.

“We are pleased to offer these enhancements to our comprehensive
portfolio of Managed Hosting services,” said Vini Handler, Vice
President of Product Management and Marketing, Enterprise Hosting.
“These new products and services enable customers to take advantage of
the latest technology in server operating systems, security and server
management. And with our expanded Enterprise Customer Care options,
companies can now select a customer care solution matched to their own
specific needs.”
