of Network Infrastructure

Uptime makes a 'world' of difference for developers of multi-player online
game

RALEIGH, N.C., April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Hosted Solutions
(www.hostedsolutions.com), the East Coast's premier provider of IT
infrastructure as a service (IaaS), today announced that the developers of
"Fallen Earth," the Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game, have chosen to
colocate their network infrastructure equipment at Hosted Solutions' data
centers. In doing so, Fallen Earth has been guaranteed 100 percent uptime in
key areas such as power, bandwidth, cooling and more.

The announcement was made at the first annual Triangle Game Conference, being
held at the Raleigh Convention Center today and tomorrow. The conference is
hosting representatives from gaming companies across the United States.

Still in beta testing, Fallen Earth strategically combines first-person
shooter and traditional role-playing game designs. Set in the Grand Canyon
after a lethal disease destroyed most of mankind, Fallen Earth features 70
towns, six competing factions, a classless advancement system and a crafting
system in which players can make 95 percent of game items.

"By colocating our infrastructure with Hosted Solutions, we know that we will
be up and running, every second of every day possible," said Jim Hettinger,
CEO at Fallen Earth. "We will have players globally, for whom any downtime is
unacceptable, and so we wanted a hosting provider who could offer us the
maximum possible reliability. Placing our trust in Hosted Solutions enables
us to concentrate on delivering the best gaming experience out there, while
handing off our technical requirements to a trusted partner."

Hosted Solutions provides high-availability solutions for a number of game
companies, ensuring consistent uptime through redundancy, guaranteed failover

customers cannot afford to fail. With five enterprise-class data centers
located throughout the East Coast, we offer a superior level of quality and
service that provides our customers with peace of mind and the ability to
focus on their core business." Lee noted that customers select Hosted
Solutions because of the firm's outstanding SLA performance and guaranteed
100% uptime on colocation. "It's not easy to provide 100% uptime," he added,
"but the quality of our facilities, combined with our 'hi-touch' consultative
approach and dedication to service, enables us to meet it."
