CHARLOTTE, N.C. (January 29, 2008) – Peak 10, the leading independent data center operator and managed services provider, today announced that it has added Collexis, a leading developer of high definition search and knowledge discovery software, to its growing and diverse customer portfolio.  Peak 10 will provide Collexis with a fully managed hosted environment out of the company’s second world-class data center in Charlotte, N.C.

“When developing client-specific applications for users in the academic, government, corporate and non-profit sectors, it’s imperative that we have the best possible managed services environment in place to meet our ever-evolving technology needs,” said Bill Kirkland, chief executive officer of Collexis. “Peak 10 has an outstanding industry reputation and has become a trusted extension of our IT department, allowing us to focus on growing and enhancing our business while effectively meeting the needs of our clients.”

Collexis develops applications that range from search tools for Web sites to highly sophisticated discovery applications, which are utilized by many organizations worldwide. These applications allow users to identify and search for documents, experts, trends, or new discoveries, which may be hidden within the materials.

Working together with Dell Healthcare and Life Sciences and Peak 10, Collexis recently launched BioMedExperts.com, the first online scientific social network community of its kind.  The premier site allows life sciences professionals to connect with each other, share data, collaborate more efficiently and conduct deep research across thousands of sources. 

“We are excited about working with Collexis,” said Pat O’Brien, vice president and general manager of Peak 10 Charlotte.  “We make it a point to provide specialized managed services solutions to meet the various needs of our clients. We worked closely with Collexis to create this managed services environment, along with their technology partner Dell, whose Healthcare and Life Sciences division was instrumental in its design, construction and deployment.”

“Peak 10’s managed services enabled us to successfully launch BioMedExperts.com with more than 1.4 million pre-generated profiles of its expected users from across 120 countries,” said Kirkland.  “We expect to grow the site by another two million profiles over the next few months and our ongoing relationship with Peak 10 will help ensure BioMedExperts.com meets and exceeds the expectations of the site’s users.”

Peak 10's comprehensive portfolio of managed services provide scalable, economical and reliable options for effectively managing and supporting business applications and technology infrastructure.  The company holds access to a variety of managed services resources, best practices and knowledge along with the diversity of twelve enterprise class data centers in nine key markets: Cincinnati, Ohio; Nashville, Tenn.; Atlanta, Ga.; Raleigh and Charlotte, N.C.; Tampa and Jacksonville, Fla.; Louisville, Ky.; and Richmond, Va.

About Collexis Holdings, Inc.
Collexis Holdings, Inc., a leading developer of high definition search and knowledge discovery software since 1999 and now the world’s first pre-populated professional social network for life science researchers, www.biomedexperts.com , is headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina (USA), with operations in Geldermalsen, The Netherlands and Cologne, Germany. Collexis’ proprietary technology builds conceptual profiles of text, called Fingerprints, from documents, Websites, emails and other digitized content and matches them with a comprehensive list of pre-defined “fingerprinted” concepts to make research results more relevant and efficient. This matching of concepts eliminates the ambiguity and lack of priority associated with word searches. The results are often described as “finding needles in many haystacks.” Through this novel approach, Collexis can build unique applications to search, index and aggregate information as well as prioritize, trend and predict data based on sources in multiple industries without the limitations of language or dialect. Collexis’ current clients in the public, private and academic sectors include the Mayo Clinic; Johns Hopkins University; the University of California, San Francisco; the University of South Carolina; Erasmus University Library; Merck & Co.; Bristol-Myers Squibb; Lockheed Martin; the World Health Organization; Wellcome Trust; the National Institutes of Health; and the U.S. Department of Defense.   Collexis shares of common stock are traded under the symbol CLXS on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTC BB).  For more information visit www.collexis.com.
