  CULVER CITY, CA, Aug 27 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
(mt) Media Temple Inc. (www.mediatemple.net), a privately held web
hosting services company, announced today that Gartner, Inc., an IT
research organization, has positioned Media Temple in their Magic
Quadrant report along with global brands AT&T, IBM and Amazon for "Web
Hosting and Hosted Cloud System Infrastructure Services (On Demand)."

    To appear in this Magic Quadrant, Media Temple was selected from a number
of technology companies based on a mix of industry-specific criteria,
including: on-demand hosting as a stand-alone service, 24/7 customer
support, and a significant market presence (revenues of more than $20
million in sales).

    According to Gartner, Web hosting is an evolving market that is being
rapidly transformed by a shift to on-demand, pay-as-you-go products and
services -- often referred to as "the cloud." As for Media Temple,
however, this is a market shift they've predicted for some time. The
company has provided components that are core to the cloud for over 10
years and is now uniquely positioned to service the growing demand of
today's hosting consumers.

    When questioned about the report, Demian Sellfors, CEO of (mt) Media
Temple, commented, "Cloud computing is nothing more than a new
interpretation or method of accessing data center services. Given our
background and track record with VPS, clustering, storage, and other
high-scale technologies -- (mt) remains well positioned to transform with
the I.T. landscape." Sellfors further indicated, "It's an exciting time
for our industry. We are pleased to be recognized as a Niche Player in
Gartner's newly re-formatted Magic Quadrant."
