Neuberger Berman Chooses Switch and Data to Safeguard its Critical Operations Infrastructure

TAMPA, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Switch and Data (NASDAQ: SDXC), a leading provider of network-neutral data
center and Internet exchange services, announced today that Neuberger Berman, an
independent global asset management firm, has chosen a Switch and Data site in
the northeastern United States to house its critical operations infrastructure.

Neuberger Berman, an investment advisory company serving individuals and
institutions with a broad range of investment products, services, and
strategies, selected Switch and Data`s site after an extensive diligence
process. Switch and Data`s site location, robust security, infrastructure which
includes N+1 power and cooling redundancy, as well as the ability to access its
existing network providers through the site were key factors in Neuberger
Berman`s decision. The site also provides ample space and power availability for
Neuberger Berman to scale its operations to meet future requirements.
Additionally, the firm will use Switch and Data`s well regarded 24x7 TechSmart®
remote technical support service to enable quick site turn-up and provide
post-deployment infrastructure maintenance and troubleshooting.

"Reliable infrastructure is mission-critical for a financial services company
and this deployment is a crucial element of our operations," said Paul Metzger,
Managing Director, Neuberger Berman. "Switch and Data is part of our multi Data
Center high availability infrastructure. By selecting Switch and Data, we gain
access to a modern, advanced site with the security, connectivity, and
reliability needed to protect our systems today, as well as the space and power
availability to scale for the future."

Switch and Data`s high-performance data centers are provided with full N+1
redundancy for their UPS, generator and cooling infrastructures. They have been
designed to support customer power and cooling requirements up to 200 watts per
square foot and are provided with 24x7 security and remote technical support.
The company`s new sites are also interconnected with the company`s existing
fully-deployed data centers to provide access to large numbers of the industry`s
leading network service providers.

"Companies in the financial services industry have rigorous technical and
reliability requirements for their data center facilities, with connectivity to
personnel, clients and capital markets at the forefront of their concerns," said
John Panzica, Vice President of Switch and Data's Financial Services Practice.
"We are proud that an industry leader like Neuberger Berman has chosen our site
and our staff to protect the more than $160 billion in assets that flow through
its infrastructure."
