Asheville, NC – December 9, 2009: Netriplex, LLC, a provider of mission critical data center solutions, today announced the launch of BGPSelect™, a revolutionary transit customization solution that allows customers to pick and choose which Internet providers they want in their BGP mix. This new service gives customers unprecedented control over their network with no additional premium per megabit.
"From what we can tell, this is the first of its kind service for any data center in the world," explains Netriplex CTO, Jonathan Hoppe. "Giving customers the ability to pick and choose which transit providers they want in their Internet mix is a very powerful concept. Until now, if a customer wanted connectivity to specific providers, they had to purchase transit directly from the provider, pay cross-connect fees, and run their own routing infrastructure to perform BGP. Today we're changing all that. We want to make it easier for customers to get exactly what they want for less cost."
BGPSelect™ will initially be available in Netriplex's Asheville, NC data center and is scheduled to be released on December 15, 2009. Netriplex's Asheville data center boasts direct fiber connectivity to Atlanta, GA and Ashburn, VA affording low-latency connectivity options to over 200 global transit providers. The initial list of providers customers can choose from include Level(3), Global Crossing, Qwest, Savvis, Abovenet, BTN/PCCW, Telia, Time Warner, Comcast and Charter. It is expected that by the end of first quarter 2010, a dozen additional providers will be added to the available list based on popularity and customer demand.

SAS70 Type II certified data center in Asheville, NC, offers web hosting, grid and High Availability computing, server colocation and disaster recovery office space in a state-of-the-art and completely redundant environment designed for 100% uptime.

Asheville, NC - August 11, 2009 – Netriplex, LLC today announced plans to extend its high-capacity fiber connectivity from its Asheville, NC, datacenter to the Washington, DC, area and the Northeast United States. The initial phase of this expansion will be a leased OC-192 optical fiber circuit to the network-neutral Equinix facility in Ashburn, Virginia with peering to hundreds of major transit providers.
"This northbound network expansion achieves several goals for our customers," explains Netriplex CTO, Jonathan Hoppe. "First, it creates greater resiliency and redundancy for Netriplex customers if there is a major incident in Atlanta, our primary Internet peering point. Now we will have full routing diversity both to the north and to the south. Second, our northward extension opens up access for government and industry point-to-point circuits between the Washington, DC area and our disaster recovery datacenter in Asheville. This dedicated fiber connection will allow Netriplex customers the most competitively priced and fastest bandwidth available to the northeast, just 15 milliseconds and one router hop for either primary or backup server hosting."
Asheville, North Carolina, has been recognized by both government and industry professionals as a highly desirable location for storing electronic data securely and economically. The United States National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), the world's largest active archive of weather data, is located in Asheville. Likewise, both Google and Apple have recently chosen western North Carolina's high security and low operating costs for their new data centers. A current insurance industry report listed Asheville, NC, among the "25 Most Secure U.S. Places to Live." And Asheville is secure without being remote. It is easily accessed through direct flights from 11 major metro airports and is within a day's drive for over half the U.S. population.
Netriplex COO, John Thompson, comments: "Most data centers are in major cities, and major cities are high risk for both natural and manmade disasters. Extreme weather hazards can cause loss of power, Internet and vital personnel for even the most 'hardened' data centers in their path. Add in the manmade perils of terrorism (think dirty bomb or EMP bomb), riots, crime, industrial hazards and health epidemics and you can readily see why Netriplex thought 'outside the box' for locating its latest data center in Asheville. Simply put, our unique location between two mountain ranges protects Netriplex's state-of-the-art facility from the risks that threaten most other data centers."

Asheville, NC – April 30, 2009: Netriplex LLC, a global datacenter provider headquartered in Asheville, NC, announced today that it has expanded its workforce by 30 percent since January 1 to better support its rapidly expanding customer base. Plainly, the current economic recession is not affecting all industries equally. Independent datacenters, in fact, are growing. In its April forecast, market research firm Forrester says that it expects IT outsourcing sales to increase by 2.1 percent in 2009 and 6.5 percent in 2010.
Chief Technology Officer at Netriplex, Jonathan Hoppe, comments: "Despite a difficult economy, the unabated growth of the Internet for social networking, streaming media, software as a service and other application delivery continues to drive demand for more datacenter space and power. Rather than invest significant capital and operating costs in private data centers, businesses are increasingly outsourcing to independent datacenters like Netriplex who offer high value in both dedicated and colocation hosting."
Netriplex made significant investments in its infrastructure in 2008, making it one of the most robust independent managed datacenter companies of its size. "Facility space at the Asheville datacenter was enlarged by 50 percent, power infrastructure was tripled, network capacity was enhanced to a new ceiling of 480 Gigabits-per-second, and bandwidth providers were increased to 13 and counting, Now we’ve expanded 30 percent in both sales and support engineering staff," explains Chief Operating Officer, John Thompson. "With that level of robustness and redundancy, Netriplex remains a value leader in our industry."

Asheville, NC, March 3, 2009 – Uber Bandwidth (http://UberBandwidth.com), a leading provider of high-performance high-value bandwidth to the data center colocation community, announced today that it has surpassed its first connectivity milestone of offering over a dozen Tier 1 connections to its customers. Utilizing their 1-Terabit-capable network, Uber Bandwidth has achieved this goal while remaining the value leader in the industry at $3.99/mbps.
"Thirteen and growing monthly," counts Jonathan Hoppe, Uber Bandwidth's Chief Technology Officer. "That's how many Tier-1 Internet providers our colocation customers can now access at the Uber Center in Asheville, North Carolina. You can watch the number of Tier-1 providers increase and see who they are right on our website. We have open negotiations with a dozen other providers, and once we reach acceptable agreements we'll be adding them in to the mix as well. Our plans for the future are big. We're running diverse path fiber to other carrier hotels around the United States, and by the end of 2009 we hope to directly peer with over 100 networks. We are well on our way to creating the most extreme network of multiple 10-gigabit connections to every major network in the U.S., Canada and Europe."
To accentuate their new connectivity milestone, Uber Bandwidth's website got a facelift too. Chief Operating Officer, John Thompson, comments: "Prospective clients have given rave reviews to the website's new user-friendly features. It adds online pricing not only for bandwidth but also for the Uber Center colocation space and power, from 1 rack unit up to a full cabinet and more. And to evaluate the robustness of our network, there's now a third-party speed test to use by just clicking a button on our website. Perhaps most mentioned, however, is the new blog that posts timely information about such topics as: ‘Who is your current list of Tier-1 providers? How can you offer premium bandwidth at $3.99/mbps when everyone else is way higher? And why is your flagship data center not in a major city?' Many more topics will be addressed on the Uber Bandwidth blog in the weeks ahead."
Uber Bandwidth and the Uber Center is a division of Netriplex data centers. Through 24/7/365 support and remote-hands-and-eyes services, businesses anywhere in the world can colocate servers in the Uber Center. As demand for the Uber Bandwidth network grows, Netriplex will deploy it at its six other datacenters across the U.S. and London.
