Goodwill Industries International is a network of 207 independent, community-based organizations in the United States, Canada, and 22 other countries that provide various job training and career services. The company's CIO Steve Bergman says Speedera was chosen because of its ability to provide security and an additional layer of business continuity.

"We applaud Speedera for its generous offer to ensure that the goodwill.org site is supported by the latest Internet infrastructure services and technology," says George W. Kessinger, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International. "Our Web site is the nerve center of our outreach program, and it is critical that anybody and everybody can quickly and easily access the site whenever they wish."

Under the "Giving Back" program, Speedera Networks has allocated one percent of its infrastructure for non-profit organizations, offering hosting and other IT infrastructure services for no charge.

"Speedera is dedicated to the idea of giving back to the community, not only during this season of giving, but all-year round," says Ajit Gupta, president and CEO of Speedera. "We believe that technology should be available to all as a means to educate people, transform their lives, and to make the world a better place to live. We created our Giving Back program to provide free Web site delivery services to non-profit organizations such as Goodwill Industries, an organization whose tireless efforts have helped millions of people find good jobs and support their families."
