Pacific Internet and Hitachi Data Systems Partner to Deliver Internet Backup Service

Singapore, (Wednesday, November 28, 2001) - Pacific Internet (NASDAQ: PCNTF), Asia`s leading Internet service provider has formed a strategic partnership with Hitachi Data Systems, a world leader in data storage technology to jointly launch an Internet Backup Service (IBS) (Please refer to Appendix). The service launched today is aimed at delivering value-added data storage services for all companies particularly the small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small offices home offices (SOHO) in Singapore.

One of the greatest challenges for companies is finding a way to safely and cost-effectively store valuable corporate data and keep it secure. Essentially, this means that companies will need to adopt a sound data protection policy in order to retain and protect proprietary information from being lost. In addition, this will need to be quickly accessible and retrievable to ensure business continuity.
IBS is a complete client/server software solution that utilizes fully encrypted and password protected backup technology. Data is encrypted using a 112-bit private encryption key and compressed before transmission over the Internet. The data is also stored encrypted to ensure the highest levels of security. This service is a simpler, quicker and less expensive solution for companies to backup and restore data in the event of hacking, virus attacks, hard drive failures or PC thefts.


Mr David Lunn, Hitachi Data Systems`s Director of Business Development for Asia South, said: "Hitachi Data Systems has always been at the forefront in storage technology and we are very excited to be collaborating with Pacific Internet, a company which believes in offering its customers the best Internet storage solutions available. In these days of PC vulnerability, data backup has become a necessity whether you are a home or corporate user. IBS is developed to offer a convenient and cost effective alternative to users seeking to address their storage needs. "
Mr Sui Wee Chong, Director of the Corporate Business Group of Pacific Internet Singapore, said: "Businesses looking to outsource this function will want to work with reliable providers who have an established reputation in the market and this is the value proposition that PacNet and Hitachi can offer to these customers. This strategic partnership enables both companies to leverage on each other`s strengths; with Hitachi`s track record in data storage technology and PacNet`s expertise in providing Internet service, customers can look forward to a quality solution scalable to suit their needs. "


To deliver the highest quality Internet data backup service, IBS is powered by two leading technologies, Connected TLM, for the backup and restore software, and the Hitachi RAID disk array technology; co-located in Pacific Internet`s state-of-the-art Internet Data Centre. Customers can be assured of reliable data availability and secure data storage as IBS is backed by Pacific Internet`s resilient network architecture. Pacific Internet has been offering data hosting services since 1995, making it one of the most experienced operators in the region.


Mr Ong Teck Guan, Pacific Internet`s Managing Director for Singapore said, "With the rising demand for broadband services and the increasing concern for data security and availability, Pacific Internet can now provide a safe, secure computing environment coupled with high speed Internet access with the launch of the Internet Backup Service. Pacific Internet is currently assessing other enhanced features that can be incorporated with this service as well."

Pacific Internet Re-Affirms Its Commitment To India

SINGAPORE--(INTERNET WIRE)--Nov 29, 2001-- Asia`s leading Internet service provider (ISP), Pacific Internet Limited (NASDAQ: PCNTF - news) today re-affirmed its commitment to the Indian market and said that it will focus the future growth of its Indian ISP business in the corporate arena.
Pacific Internet India currently has 37 employees in three cities - Bangalore, Mumbai and Pune, offering Internet access services to both consumers and businesses. It has more than 100 corporate customers and over 3,000 retail customers. Under the Orange brand name, the company recently partnered with Hutchison Max Telecom Limited to offer Internet roaming services to the latter`s premium mobile clients, enabling them to access the Internet via Pacific Internet`s global arrangements.

Mr. Tan Tong Hai, President and CEO of Pacific Internet Limited said, "The ISP market in India is undergoing a consolidation phase now. The winners will be those who can sustain their businesses by rightsizing to suit to the business potential in the market. We have chosen to focus on Bangalore and Mumbai because these two cities are key commercial and IT hubs in India. We are also able to serve customers in Pune because of its proximity to Mumbai."

Wohin geht jetzt die Reise?

Allgemein scheint eine Phase der Orientierung eingesetzt zu haben. Wir sind am Freitag bis auf die 200 Tage-Linie zurückgefallen. Diese Linie wird gleichzeitig noch vom Abwärtstrendkanal, der sich aus den letzten 12 Monaten ableitet, unterstützt. Die Widerstandszone sollte jetzt als Unterstützungslinie dienen.
Rein charttechnisch sollte PCNTF von dieser Linie abprallen, ansonst droht der Rückfall in den alten Abwärtstrendkanal. Einige Indikatoren weisen darauf hin, dass die Aktie überverkauft (Stochastik und RSI) ist, doch andere sind in negative Bereiche eingetaucht (Monemtum, MACD).

Es gilt also die nächste Woche abzuwarten, um zu sehen, wie es bei PCNTF weiter geht.

[JPerejil]

Hallo Fracor,

ich setzte eigentlich wenig auf die Linien - sicherlich man kann sich das anschauen und versuchen irgendetwas abzuleiten. Was für mich zählt ist das vorhandene Marktpotential, die Kenntnis wie das Wachstum in Europa und Amerika gelaufen ist, das Produkt sowie gesunde Zahlen innerhalb des Unternehmens. Laß doch rutschen auf 1€, dann verbrate ich gleich mein ganzes Weihnachtsgeld. Mit PCN warte ich die nächsten 2 - 3 Jahre und schaue dann, was los ist. In der Ruhe liegt die Kohle

Gruss Jorge

Zur Frage:
Wohin geht jetzt die Reise?

Schwer zu sagen wohin sie kurzfristig hingeht. Wo sie langfristig hingeht ist uns wohl allen klar.

Aber auch kurzfristig können die 4 US$ wieder in Angriff genommen werden. Die letzte Woche lief unter dem Motto Konsulidierung (siehe auch die andern asiatischen Player z.B. SIFY)

[Reiners]

Tja die drohende Pleite bei Satyam Infoway ist dann wohl erstmal abgewendet.


Hier der Grund für den Kursanstieg vor 2 Wochen bei Satyam Infoway:


Zeitung: AOL will sich an Satyam Infoway beteiligen
Neu Delhi (vwd) - Die AOL Time Warner Inc, Dulles, will sich an der indischen Satyam Infoway Ltd beteiligen. Sie hat zu diesem Zweck Gespräche mit der Satyam Computer Services Ltd über die teilweise oder völlige Übernahme deren Anteils von 52,5 Prozent an Satyam Infoway aufgenommen. Dies schreibt die Zeitung "Business Standard" (Montagausgabe) unter Berufung auf informierte Kreise. Satyam Infoway ist den Angaben zufolge Indiens zweitgrößter Internetdienstleister. Sie ist an der Nasdaq notiert.



Unabhängig davon meldeten Zeitungen am Wochenende, dass AOL kurz vor der Übernahme eines Anteils von bis zu 26 Prozent an der größten indischen TV- und Unterhaltungsgesellschaft Zee Telefilms Ltd stehe.


vwd/DJ/3.12.2001/mi

[Fracor]

@ Reiners

so ist das Leben, unsere Infos sind einfach zu alt *lol*, um damit wirklich zu wuchern. Die eine im Satyam-Forum hatte doch richtige Insider-Infos, die wir aber belächelt haben.

Aber das sind solche Fälle, die ich in älteren Postings schon angesprochen habe. Erst werden Aktien madig gesprochen und in fallenden Märkten hinein verkauft, so dass alle Aktienäre vor Mutproben gestellt werden. Dann sammeln die Bänker alles ein, was sie bekommen können und wenn die, die vor wenigen Tagen, voller Verzweiflung verkauft haben, wieder auf den fahrenden Zug springen, dann werden schon wieder erste Positionen abgestoßen, um den Jo-Jo-Effekt voll auszukosten.

Eines zeigen uns diese Nachrichten aber ganz klar. Asiens ISP-Märkte sind interessant, auch für alteingesessene Unternehmen. Sicher werden viele Papiere vom Kurszettel verschwinden, aber das Internet wird garantiert nicht abgeschafft. Der Preis, der für die Papiere gezahlt wird. der ist entscheidend. Ich denke, dass auch PacNet vom Kurszettel verschwinden wird, da das Unternehmen zu klein ist, aber das kann auch noch etwas dauern.

[Reiners]

Satyam to sell Sify stake
THE much-awaited sale of stake by Satyam Computers in its Internet subsidiary Satyam Infoway appears to be on the cards. The market talk is that Satyam Computers is expected to sell its entire 52 per cent stake at $1 per share to an international company having presence in Internet business. On back of the expectation, Satyam Infoway ADR is already witnessing increased activity on the Nasdaq. The ADR has increased from around $1 on November 13 to $ 2.788 on November 19. In addition, the volumes too have seen sharp rise. At the BSE, Satyam Computers closed 2.94 per cent higher at Rs 198.60. - Virendra Verma



Naja 1 US$ für 1 Satyam share

Mal sehen wo der exakte Wert liegen wird.

92,8 Mio Aktien mal 1US$ = Marktwert 92,8 Mio US$

92,8 MIO : 40 Mio (Umsatz 2001) = 2,3 (KUV)

Das heißt AOL ist bereit ein KUV von 2,3 für einen stagnierenden Cashburner zu bezahlen.


80 Mio Umsatz Pacnet 2001 mal 2,3 = 184 Mio Marktwert durch 12,8 Mio Aktien = 14,3 US$ für Pacnet

Da Pacnet in 6 Ländern vertreten ist und an der Gewinnschwelle steht, müßte der Kurs sogar noch weit über 14,3 US$ liegen.


Die Satyam Mutter weiß warum sie möglichst schnell Ihre Tochter Satyam Infoways verkaufen will. Das Eigenkapitel ist fast verbraucht. Fette Verluste in den nächsten Jahren sind weiter zu erwarten und es müßte bald wieder gutes Geld von Ihr nachgeschossen werden. Also dann doch lieber "billig" an AOL verkaufen.
Motto : Lieber ein Ende mit Schrecken als Schrecken ohne Ende.


Bei Pacnet sieht die Situation jedoch ganz anderes aus. Die Mutter hat Zeit, weil Sie bei Pacnet kein Geld reinschießen muss und sich Pacnet selber trägt.

[Reiners]

Wird Satyam Infoway an AOL verkauft?



Das indische Softwareunternehmen Satyam Computer Services verhandelt momentan über einen Verkauf des 52,5 %-Anteils an dem Nasdaq-Unternehmen Satyam Infoway. Das schreiben indische Zeitungen am Montag.

Dem Zeitungsbericht zufolge führt das indische Unternehmen momentan Gespräche mit AOL und SingTel, wobei man AOL angeblich favorisiere.

Ein Satyam Infoway-Sprecher bestätigte Gespräche mit anderen Unternehmen, wollte aber nicht die Namen der Firmen nennen. Der gesamte Verkaufsprozess könne sich bis zum kompletten Abschluß noch 4 bis 6 Monate hinziehen, fügte er an. Satyam Computer Services wollte keine Stellungnahme abgeben.

----------------------------------------------------

Also der Verkaufspreis steht noch lange nicht fest. Und das Prozedere kann noch Monate dauern. Nachdem Singtel Pacific Internet aus Kartellgründen nicht übernehmen durfte, bietet man jetzt bei dem mit, was sonst noch so da ist.


Gut für Pacnet: Es kommt langsam Bewegung in den Übernahmemarkt der asiatischen Internetanbietern.

Zwei starke Konkurrenten werden AOL und Singtel bleiben.

AOL konnte Singtel durch eine Übernahme von Pacfic Internet direkt vor Singtels Haustür (Singapur) richtig eins "auswischen".

Wir werden sehen.

Fazit: Es bleibt spannend

Singapore`s IT services to register US$3.6 billion
By Michelle Tan, CNETAsia
Monday, December 3 2001 4:05 PM


SINGAPORE--The Republic`s IT services revenue is expected to grow 12.7 percent to US$2 billion this year, despite the economic slowdown and global uncertainty arising from the September 11 attacks.

By 2005, that figure is projected to rise to US$3.6 billion, said market research firm Gartner Dataquest.

"Our local research shows that IT management services continue to do well despite sluggish economies," said Rolf Jester, Gartner Asia Pacific research director (IT Services).

"From late 2002, we expect networking, security and telecommunications technology-related services as well as e-business initiatives to be strong drivers of demand," Jester said.

This expectation is in line with overall growth in the Asia Pacific IT services market. The latter is forecast to outpace other regions "significantly, with a growth rate double the world average, and nearly three times that of North America," observed Jacqueline Heng, Gartner Dataquest Asia Pacific senior analyst for IT services.

Within the IT services industry, the development and integration segment--where Singapore firms spent US$566 million--should continue to dominate. In 2005, local companies are expected to spend at least US$1 billion, Gartner said in a statement.

The hardest hit sector is the consulting business, which is expected to lag behind the overall economy by three quarters. However, some bright spots for this market include security, business continuity planning, networking and e-business consulting.

Meanwhile, the strongest growing sector will be the business process and transaction management (BPTM) services sector, as companies turn to external suppliers and focus more on core business competencies.

"So far, the overall response (to the slower economy and war against terrorism) has been to avoid risks and delayed investment decisions. If senior executives can reasonably predict how the economy and security situation will play out, they could begin buying IT services again," said Jester.

"In the meantime, IT services vendors must rely on their `life preserver` offerings such as payment processing, applications and data center outsourcing, product support services, and security and disaster recovery," he added.
