Avature Selects TelecityGroup Netherlands to Host European Data Centre
Operations for its SaaS Based Recruiting CRM


NEW YORK, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Avature, a provider of innovative Web 2.0
Human Capital Management software solutions, today announced the selection of
TelecityGroup Netherlands for hosting their EMEA region software services. The
Amstel Business Park (ABP) data centre, TelecityGroup's newest Amsterdam
facility, was selected for its high security, excellent connectivity, and low
environmental impact.

The ISO 27001 certified data centre meets the strictest international
standards in information security, and will host the Recruiting CRM services
for several existing multinational clients, including major staffing services
firms headquartered in the region.  

High availability and sub-second response time for the Avature CRM
applications located on the continent is being supported by TelecityGroup's IP
Multihome service which provides connectivity over multiple Tier-1 networks
and six European Internet Exchanges.

One of the most energy efficient data centres in Europe, the Amstel Business
Park facility has twice the industry average power density and will facilitate
Avature's cost effective expansion in the region.  TelecityGroup is taking the
lead in driving energy efficiency in the data centre in Europe: it was the
first data centre operator to sign up to the new EU Code of Conduct for data
centres and is also a member of the Green Grid.

"While this is a needed expansion of our hosting capacity," said Dimitri
Boylan, CEO of Avature, "it is also a step towards a more environmentally
responsible delivery of computer processing power. As a SaaS provider, we get
high utility out of our servers, so we process more information per Kilowatt
consumed than most on-premise systems.  We are particularly impressed with the
energy efficiency of this new centre." 

Alexandra Schless, managing director TelecityGroup Netherlands said:
"TelecityGroup continues to be the data centre of choice for leading US
businesses expanding into Europe. Avature has established a strong reputation
for delivering management solutions across the web and I'm very pleased that
TelecityGroup will play a crucial role in supporting their international
expansion by hosting and maintaining their infrastructure in our new highly
resilient and secure ABP data centre in Amsterdam."
