(mt) Media Temple, Inc., a leading provider of web hosting and online services, is proud to announce the successful completion of 2006's most popular viral holiday destination, "www.elfyourself.com" and the entire "A Gift From OfficeMax®" campaign. Earning impressive metrics, 36 million visits in five weeks, from every aspect of the project, (mt) Media Temple has furthered its reputation as the hosting destination for the Internet's most demanding websites.

"With a project developed by superstar firms such as Toy and EVB -- I knew the viral aspect of this project was going to be massive," says Demian Sellfors, Media Temple CEO. "What I didn't predict, however, was that it would break so many records for a single customer in our (EL-IDC3) data center. As the demands of this project grew exponentially, our hosting infrastructure kept pace and scaled naturally as designed. Projects like this remind me why we continue to reinvest heavily in our company's infrastructure year after year."

Project snapshot:

--  Number of unique visitors per day: 1,290,330
--  Average length of visitor: 15 minutes
--  Megabits per second:  650mb
--  Terabytes transferred: 55+TB
--  Number of required CPU cores: 16
--  79,000 MySpace hits and 2 million Google queries for elfyourself
--  Consumers spent 300 million minutes on all 20 OfficeMax® campaign sites
   
"We're ecstatic that our company has gained yet another measure of success in an industry that is being redefined every day. These customer challenges provide invaluable experience which we can then apply to other customer projects."

"Gaining OfficeMax® as a client was the perfect holiday gift," continues Sellfors. "We are proud to add them to our impressive list of traffic-intensive customers like Sony®, Starbucks®, Nike®, Diesel®, TechCrunch and the incredible firms producing their content; EVB, Cuban Council, CPB, Tequila, Hi-Res!, and many others. They've relied on (mt) for years to serve their campaigns and it's great to see us grow by working together."
