AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Time Warner Telecom of Texas, L.P., a leading provider of local and regional optical broadband networks and services to business customers in Texas and 21 other states, today announced that Inflow-Austin, a leading provider of managed web application hosting and outsourced IT services, has added Time Warner Telecom's Native LAN services to its service offerings. To date, Inflow has deployed data center services using Time Warner Telecom's Ethernet-based Native LAN links to four new customers in the Austin area, including its latest client, Logical Information Machines, Inc. (LIM).

LIM, a provider of sophisticated research software for Fortune 500 companies, is one of four Austin-based companies that have recently deployed Time Warner Telecom's Native LAN service. LIM's application performs sophisticated historical research and requires high-capacity data exchanges between large Oracle databases.

"Time Warner Telecom's Native LAN offers our clients a more efficient solution," said Cameron Brown, general manager of Inflow-Austin. "Overall, it's less expensive because we can deploy service quicker, deliver significantly increased capacity for nearly the same price, offer greater flexibility to the customer and reduce network management labor hours with this solution. These benefits make Time Warner's Native LAN a natural fit with our data center service offerings."

"Time Warner Telecom's Native LAN service helps us leverage our service contract with Inflow while simultaneously boosting our network productivity," said Joe Franz, LIM chief information officer. "Across our target markets, we process over a million transactions per day. We also have 100 data vendors that funnel information to our Oracle databases, which we back up at our Inflow facility. Time Warner Telecom's high-capacity Native LAN solution is ideal because we move huge chunks of data at a sustained rate and we have a low tolerance for lost packets. Lost data packets are no longer an issue for us."

"Many of our customers require a high level of reliability, redundancy and availability in order to best serve their customers," said Jenny Rogers, Time Warner Telecom general manager in Austin. "That's especially true for Inflow, which provides business continuity and disaster recovery services to enterprise customers across the country. Our hardened-facility central offices and fiber-based network deliver superior levels of availability that Inflow passes on to its customers."

Additionally, Rogers cites Time Warner Telecom's Native LAN service Ethernet-based protocol for helping it gain rapid acceptance among users. "It is much less expensive for companies to extend their Ethernet LAN to an Ethernet-based WAN. It requires less expensive premises equipment and fewer administrative labor hours to oversee versus deploying time division multiplex (TDM) communications links. We find customers extremely receptive to this solution for their multi-point connectivity needs."
