Corpus Christi, TX (January 11, 2001) -- It was announced today that Interconnect Services has been selected by The Corpus Christi Caller Times to provide "broadband" DSL Internet access and VPN (Virtual Private Networking) services between facilities. Acquired by Harte-Hanks in 1928, the Corpus Christi Caller-Times has grown to become the seventh largest newspaper in the state. With a strong tourism and military industry, and a growing higher education system, the newspaper continues to be a mainstay in South Texas with a circulation of 88,000 (Sunday) and 66,000 (daily). You may also visit the Corpus Christi Caller Times on the World Wide Web at www.caller.com.
The Caller-Times has won first place for the Best Newspaper in the 100,000 and under circulation category (voted by the Press Club of Dallas) eight of the past 11 years in Texas and the Southwest. In 1999, the newspaper won 50 national, state and regional awards. The Caller-Times also produces numerous other products including a thriving direct mail business serving Corpus Christi and the Rio Grande Valley area.
Chris Beam, Interconnect's Founder and CEO stated "In common usage, a Virtual Private Network is a group of two or more computer systems, typically connected to a private network (a network built and maintained by an organization solely for its own use) with limited public-network access, that communicates securely over a public network. VPN's may exist between an individual machine and a private network (client-to-server) or a remote LAN and a private network (server-to-server). VPNs include encryption, strong authentication of remote users or hosts, and mechanisms for hiding or masking information about the private network topology from potential attackers on the public network. Beam went on to say, "Virtual private networks are difficult to manage by their nature: One of the two end points is usually miles away from the IT manager's control. Interconnect's VPN/Firewall solutions are straight-forward, easily configurable and relatively simple to manage."
