Digex: IIS 6.0 Delivers the goods
ENT News | at | by Mike
IIS 6.0 isn't in final form yet, but that doesn't mean it's not in use. In fact, one of the largest managed hosting companies in the world has been using it for two years now-and not just on a test network. Digex Inc., headquartered in Laurel, Maryland, is a close partner of Microsoft and has been using IIS 6.0 since January 2001. Digex has been using it on some production machines, including their main Web site, www.digex.com, since the beta 3 version was released about 10 months ago. That's confidence in a product.
And what do they think of IIS 6.0? "It's working fantastic," said Senior Engineer Dan Kahler. "Prior to moving to IIS 6, we had regular service tickets" relating to problems with its use of IIS 5.0. Since the switch, "Our reliability has been outstanding," he said.
