Aplus.Net Launches New State-Of-The-Art Data Center

San Diego, California - May 26, 2004 - Aplus.Net (www.aplus.net), the leading Internet presence and web hosting provider to small and medium-sized businesses, announced today the launch of its new 14,000-square-foot data center.

Located at the San Diego Technology Center, the state-of-the-art facility features direct fiber optic connectivity to eight major Internet backbones, including AT&T, Time Warner, Level 3, MCI, XO Communications, SBC, Williams and ICG; uninterruptible power from multiple UPS systems and a diesel generator; 24-hour surveillance; and a sophisticated climate-control system for an ideal hosting environment.

"Our new data center will help us lead the way for next-generation shared and dedicated web hosting and will maintain our promise of 99.9% uptime," said Ivan Vachovsky, chief executive officer of Aplus.Net. "We chose the San Diego Technology Center for its access to a diversity of backbone providers, which will give us and our customers multi-homed bandwidth for continuous connectivity."

Aplus.Net's Intel-powered servers are custom configured to accommodate even the most complex web applications, and undergo two levels of testing to ensure optimum performance. Fully redundant, telco-class Cisco core and edge routers provide uninterrupted service.

All systems inside the data center are monitored 24/7/365 by more than 50 support engineers at Aplus.Net's Network Operations Center (NOC). The NOC resembles the NASA command center with four giant screens (eight feet by six feet) displaying the status of the network and allowing the staff to take immediate action and provide critical real-time information to customers.
