The company is using Zeus' ZXTM software across all its sites to stop downtime and deliver excellent online service, even when sites are busy. The company approached Zeus after servers became overloaded with traffic when online promotions, designed to drive customers to its content-rich websites, were launched. Deploying Zeus' solution means Meridiana-Eurofly-s customers no longer experience downtime or interruptions to online service. The technology also provides customers with a reliable and secure online environment to make travel bookings. Zeus' software solution was deployed across the company in under five hours. Dino Zuin, CIO, Meridiana-Eurofly said: "Maintaining brand presence online is crucial because of the highly competitive environment in which we operate.
