Shanghai Sportscn.com Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Sportscn.com) was founded in 2000 by MIH Group, the largest media investment institute in South Africa, Shanghai Information Investment Inc. and Li-Ning Sports (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., the number one sports brand in China.

The company's www.sportscn.com is a vertical sports website which serves Chinese-speaking sports enthusiasts in Mainland China and worldwide. Sportscn.com is building a technically advanced, content rich interactive sports platform and integrated service system that delivers the best sporting content (including text, image, video and audio) to multiple interactive platforms (Internet, Mobile Phone and Interactive TV, etc.). Sportscn.com is creating the strongest vertical interactive sports brand in the Chinese sports industry and seeks to achieve the largest market share.

Since its inception in 2000, Sportscn.com has relied on MS Site Server (CRS) for web content publishing. With Site Server no longer supported and Sportscn.com's plans to upgrade to Windows 2003 Server, the company required a new content deployment solution.

Sportscn.com is one of the most frequently visited Chinese sports sites. As such, uninterrupted operations, guaranteed content freshness and availability, and minimal overhead associated with content deployments were critical issues. Sportscn.com's web server infrastructure consists of dozens of production servers each being updated from one centralized content repository. The content under management included tens of thousands of files, of varying size, with extensive subdirectory structures.

"The size and complexity of our environment required an extremely robust solution" commented Song KaiCheng, Director of Technology, of v.sportscn.com. "We tested many commercial replication products and found RepliWeb's R-1 to be most reliable solution for deploying content to the large number of servers that we have under management. R-1's error-free operations and over all performance was unmatched."

"When it comes to large scale Web Content Publishing and specifically Site Server Replacements, RepliWeb delivers the highest value product in the market." Commented Garrick Herrmann, Vice President Sales and Marketing for RepliWeb. "There are lots of replication products that now claim they are Site Server replacements solutions. Its really misleading to consumers. These me-too products lack the scalability, stability and performance that R-1 offers. For customers like Sportscn.com that operate in extremely high-volume environments there is no room for error, and that is why they select R-1."

Sportscn.com expects continued growth and expansion and considers RepliWeb a key strategic technology partner.
