MONTREAL, Dec. 12 /CNW Telbec/ - The Montreal Canadiens’ centennial celebrations now extend online with the official website highlighting the history of legendary Hockey Club, available at ourhistory.canadiens.com.
The project’s developers have trusted iWeb’s infrastructure to ensure the performance and availability of the site during the anticipated high-traffic periods, notably because of iWeb’s experience with projects whose performance and availability are key success factors.
A site of this magnitude and depth is a historic first in the world of professional sports. “Our History” is an easy to use site where virtually all aspects of the history of the organization can be viewed. Visitors of the groundbreaking site have access to hundreds of player biographies, videos, photos and statistics as well as the detailed results of every game played by the Habs in the last 100 years.
“We are delighted to be helping fans enjoy this historic element of the Montreal Canadiens’ centennial celebrations,” says Eric Chouinard, President and CEO of iWeb. The creative teams at Bluesponge and Turbulent Media completed the development portion of the site, after which iWeb designed, configured and provisioned a dedicated server “cluster”; an advanced setup which will ensure top performance at all times; “a vital element to the success of any large-scale project.” insists Mr. Chouinard.
“It’s important to have a reliable infrastructure, but it must also be flexible, scalable and should be able to adjust very quickly when traffic increases,” added Marc Beaudet, President of Turbulent Media, who worked on the site in partnership with Montreal firm Bluesponge; interactive partner of
the Montreal Canadiens.
The historic site is located at: http://ourhistory.canadiens.com
