Customer Demand Drives Continued Expansion Into Fourth Data Center
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Intermedia, the leading software-as -a-service (SaaS) provider specializing in
messaging and collaboration solutions, today announced the addition of its
fourth data center for its Exchange hosting business. 

This new data center enables Intermedia to meet the unprecedented demand to
provide small-and medium-sized businesses with a hosted email solution that
offers enterprise-grade performance and reliability. The additional data center
capacity will also provide customers with the highest quality hosted messaging
services and provide the infrastructure they need to work efficiently. 

"The increase in awareness and acceptance of SaaS in our economy is driving SMB
adoption of services like Intermedia`s hosted Exchange," said Jonathan
McCormick, COO of Intermedia. "We are focused on providing a premium service and
continue to invest heavily in building and operating top quality
enterprise-grade infrastructures to our customers. These new data centers, along
with our three existing North American datacenters are world-class facilities
that we built with hardware from Dell, EMC, Cisco and others to provide the best
possible service to our customers." 

For its new data center, Intermedia has partnered with Switch and Data, a
leading North American data center and Internet exchange service. The Switch and
Data site has been built to the company's high-performance data center standard
and can supply more than 200 watts per square foot of power and cooling
capacity. The data center provides Intermedia with full N+1 redundancy for its
UPS, generator and cooling infrastructure, critical components of a highly
available and reliable infrastructure, and enable Intermedia to offer a 99.999%
SLA on its hosted Exchange services. Switch and Data has interconnected its data
center to its other sites in the metro region`s premier carrier hotels,
providing access to more than 300 networks and making it one of the most densely
interconnected data centers in North America. 

"Intermedia focuses on providing a high quality infrastructure to its customers,
and we are pleased that they have selected one of our east cost data centers to
host their newest environment," said Ernie Sampera, chief marketing officer for
