Cricket is one of the most watched and loved sports in nations such as India, Great Britain, Australia, South Africa and many more, and ranks along with football (soccer in America) as one of the World's favorite pastimes. When MSN India wanted to serve coverage of the World's largest cricket competition, the Cricket World Cup 2003. The solution was developed on Microsoft .NET Framework by Vishwak Solutions Pvt. Ltd., India and hosted & implemented by INetU Managed Hosting, USA.

INetU hosted the application using multiple Microsoft Windows 2000 Servers and Microsoft SQL Server of Vishwak's solution. The resulting setup was a world-class site scalable enough to handle millions upon millions of daily visitors.

INetU is a proven vendor whom had come through for MSN India on projects for over two years, and was a natural fit for the World Cup project hosting. "INetU provided a reliable infrastructure and the high level of attention this project needed. The servers at INetU performed well," said Sriram Adukoorie of MSN India. "INetU scaled the infrastructure on an on-demand basis, both in terms of number of servers and bandwidth. Their contributions helped make our Cricket World Cup coverage a tremendous success."

The intensity of interest in the Cricket World Cup would surprise many. Americans are, by and large, unfamiliar with the sport despite the widespread popularity of American Baseball (which is thought to be derived from cricket). For almost two months of February and March 2003, the phrase "Cricket World Cup" was among the top search terms on the Web's largest search engines, such as Yahoo, Google and MSN.

Asked if he would recommend INetU to organizations that need hosting for highly trafficked, Microsoft-powered Web sites, Adukoorie answered without hesitation: "INetU has demonstrated time and again that they are capable of providing the reliable service and the high performance required for our key projects."
