CHANTILLY, Va., March 12, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- It was just three-years ago that Fadi Hallak took over Minerva Network Systems, Inc. (www.minerva.net) after the founder's untimely death. Today, the company has kept Alex Subacz's dream alive, and more.
Subacz dreamt of building a first-class hosting facility, but prior to realizing his dream, fate took him away. Today, Minerva is not only a reputable hosting provider for small and mid-sized businesses, but also a provider of scalable products and services, including simple to complex e-commerce solutions, plus web design services and packages.
"I promised Alex's family that I would adhere to the principles upon which Alex had built his business. And I am proud to say that Minerva is running stronger than ever," said Fadi Hallak, Chairman and CEO of Minerva Network Systems.
With a background in investment banking, Hallak has kept his eye on the bottom line. When the tech bubble burst, Minerva continued to add new clients and new services. "I never put the cart before the horse," said Hallak, "We didn't build billion-dollar networks before we had a client base. As a businessman and a numbers man, I'm into reality, not hype," he added.
Minerva recently introduced the Minerva Website Wizard, which allows small-business owners and individuals to easily design and create websites on their own. But for a business that requires more than a simple web design, Minerva has experienced developers and designers who provide hands-on expertise.
"Our service goes a long way. We act as advisors and have a reputation for providing objective advice. We help our clients understand everything that the web has to offer and how to take advantage of it. For example, we have a client who was running a server configuration that was about 40% overkill. By eliminating what was unnecessary, we saved them a lot of money, hassle and time," said Hallak.
Hallak plans to continue with fulfilling Subacz's dream of turning Minerva into a top-tier web-hosting provider. But, he's also added a few dreams of his own.
