Socialtext, the first enterprise wiki company, announced today it has established a local proxy server in greater Asia. The decision has come from the need for large global 1000 enterprises to be able to access their information on the wiki faster and with great ease from satellite offices in Asia. The placement of the proxy server will provide Asian customers a dramatic improvement in page load times and access.
“We are seeing growth in the use of our wiki on an international scale. Collaboration patterns in large enterprises are increasingly globally distributed. It is clear that we should continue to enhance world-wide support of our hosted solution,” said Ross Mayfield, CEO of Socialtext. “We are hearing increased customer demand from Asia, and have no choice but to respond.”
Socialtext deployed a Europe proxy server in 2005 to support their multi-national enterprise clients with a presence in Europe like Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, IKEA, Nokia and SAP — providing a five-fold performance increase. Over 1,250 organizations use Socialtext around the world. Today a business with operations in North America, Europe and Asia can collaborate in the same high-performance wiki.
The Asia proxy server is provided in partnership with Outblaze, a provider of hosted Internet communication and collaboration services in Asia.
