IceWEB Received Order From U.S. Department of Homeland Security Agency

IceWEB, Inc. received an order from a U.S. Department of Homeland Security agency responsible for safeguarding maritime borders. The multi-terabyte order will aid in the recovery efforts ongoing in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

The Wall Street Journal said BP, the British oil giant that had leased the oil rig from Transocean, Thursday pegged the costs arising from the disaster so far at $450 million, with the total mounting daily as the spill flows toward the U.S. Gulf Coast.

"IceWEB has a vast amount of experience providing platforms for emergency response and situational awareness which cater to high-profile events including the Vancouver Olympics, G8 Summit and countless other worldwide installations. Our line of server and storage platforms are designed for situations just like we are seeing in the Gulf with the BP Oil spill," said Stephen A Gill, Director, Southeast Channels. "When we get calls from our partners asking us to stop what we’re doing and respond, that’s exactly what we do.  We are able to break into our production lines and do a short run custom build as the priority one need arises."

John R. Signorello, CEO of IceWEB, noted: "This order is further indication that in critical situations where quality is paramount, large corporations and government agencies look to IceWEB to supply the vital equipment and software to help solve the problem. We are pleased to be able to assist the U.S. Government in its efforts to mitigate the impact of the Gulf oil spill."
