Posted on 03/11/2003 @ 10:00 AM

Plus Three, a leader in Free and Open Source software development, will be presenting a real world case study of how they achieved a sustained peak website throughput of over 60 gigabits per second while delivering dynamically generated content and keeping site response times under a second on a small cluster of commodity Intel hardware for one of their clients.

The Center of Open Source & Government (EgovOS.org) is hosting "Open Standards/Open Source for National and Local eGovernment Programs in the U.S. and EU". The conference will be held in Washington, D.C. on March. 17 – 19, 2003 and include industry leaders including Red Hat, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, IBM, and Plus Three.

Registration is free, and available now. The conference will be held at The George Washington University's Cafritz Conference Center, The George Washington University, 800 21st Street, NW in Washington, D.C., 20052.

"We've squeezed impressive scalability out of commodity hardware," says David Brunton, Plus Three's VP of Technology. "Maintaining website uptime during traffic spikes is a rapidly growing practice area for Plus Three."

Plus Three Builds Democratic National Committee's 2004 Weapon

Technology Firm Created Database of Over 150 Million Voters, Targeting and Message Delivery Mechanisms

New technology from Plus Three drives the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) "Demzilla," platform. Plus Three, a technology firm based in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C, spent 18 months developing Demzilla, an XML and Internet based database of voters and donors with state-of-the-art marketing and analysis capabilities. Democrats will use the system to improve fundraising and to communicate with voters in their "Project 5104" plan to win back the White House in 2004.

"In Demzilla, Plus Three has delivered the kind of far-reaching, aggressive technology that will allow Democrats to get out the message and the vote in 2004, sending us to victory," said DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe.

Laura Quinn of QRS Newmedia, the consultant who drove the decision for the Democratic party's technology upgrade, stated: "I was extremely happy with our choice of vendors. Plus Three has provided us with a stable, scalable solution, and has been incredibly active in this process of upgrading the Democrats' technology."

"We wanted to deliver a solution that was cost effective and secure, a system that could grow with the DNC, and we did just that," said Juan Proaño, President of Plus Three. "We look forward working with the DNC to ensure that their technology stays ahead of the times."
