Yes! we have mirrors to reach you better and faster!
Here at nexus.org, we're committed to providing you with fast,
reliable access to our Web site, wherever you live. In fact, we've increased the number
and locations of our Web servers to ensure that our international customers have faster
access to our Web site, and to our NEXUS Internet Radio
services
using RealAudio. Specifically, we've created two mirror
sites for the nexus.org servers - two in Europe, and one in the USA. The same mirrors are
also available to clients and members of NEXUS-IBA who take advantage of our advanced
internet solutions.
Now when we or our clients publish on our servers, the content is
immediately replicated on all our server farms including those in Milan, Italy,
Frankfurt, Germany, and in
the USA.
As a result, many of our customers living in or near Europe and the
Far East will find they can access our Web site much more quickly by using the mirror site
closest to them.
Customers living in Europe and parts of the Middle East and Africa
will be automatically connected to the Southern European mirror of our Web servers at
http://ww2.nexus.org. Customers in the Far East and
parts of the South Pacific will connect to our main US site at http://ww1.nexus.org.
Central and Eastern European users will connect to our central
European server in Frankfurt, Germany, at http://ww3.nexus.org.
All of these mirror sites share
the same up-to-date content and applications, with virtually no delay in publishing
times, and can be accessed automatically and reliably via NEXUS-IBA's WorldDirector
system simply with http://www.nexus.org.
NEXUS-IBA's WorldDirector will connect you automatically to the
nearest and faster server depending on all variable network
conditions.
With the opening of these new regional sites of nexus.org, we're
hoping to significantly improve our Web site performance for many of our customers
inside and outside North America.
Keep in mind, however, that there are many variables
that can affect the speed at which you access Web sites. Your Internet service provider's
(ISP) connection to the Internet and network capacity in your country, as well as demand
on the network, can influence the performance you experience.
To get the most benefit from one of these regional mirror sites, you
need to use an ISP that connects to the Internet through one of the backbones.
If you have questions about your service, ask your ISP. Or just
visit us at http://www.nexus.org, and judge the
performance for yourself.
NEXUS-IBA's Internet services have experienced significant growth in
the past two years, and we expect it to continue. These regional mirror sites are part of
our upgrading plan to stay ahead of that growth, and to offer better service to our customers
worldwide. The investment in these mirror sites is substantial, but it is well spent if it
improves our service and reliability for our members and clients
worldwide.
