“TurboLinux, Inc., the high-performance Linux company, today
announced that China’s largest sports Web site, Shawei.com, hosts
the Sydney 2000 Olympics webcast and all of its other content on a
high availability Internet site built around TurboLinux clustering,
caching, and load balancing software solutions powered by an Oracle
database on Compaq Proliant servers.”
“The China market is crazy for sports and the Internet is an
ideal medium in our vast country for delivering exciting global
events like the Olympics,” said C. C. Zhuang, vice president of
technology for Shawei.com. “As the biggest Olympics webcast in
China, we can’t afford our site to crash. TurboLinux gave us a

TurboLinux Data Server for Oracle 8i. TurboCluster Server is used
