SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., September 22, 2003 – With 365 Main’s impressive track record and growing satisfied client base, more and more data driven businesses are hiring the San Francisco-based data center to provide full protection of their mission-critical data and inclusive server hosting. 365 Main’s powerhouse combination of experienced personnel, established brands in security and facility management and excellent safety classifications, is rounded out by a financial foundation of investors who are in it for the long haul.

In addition, 365 Main has an unparalleled dedication to business continuity and it has the certifications to prove it - superior ratings in seismic performance from local and federal agencies, a prestigious SAS 70 audit certification, and a rare BORP (Building Occupancy Resumption Program) designation from the City and County of San Francisco allowing 365 Main staff and contractors to expedite disaster recovery compared with the rest of the businesses in San Francisco.

“We found 365 Main to be the A-team that could provide us with the highest levels of reliability, operational efficiency, and data safeguarding all at once,” said Paul Osterhus, VP of Information Technology at CNET Networks, Inc, one of the many new clients at the facility. “CNET has a reputation for being the global technology gurus. 365 Main’s facility wide N+2 redundancy arrangements, state of the art power backup systems, and on-site technical staff are making sure we stay ahead of the pack and are online 24-7-365.”

The wide range of newly signed 365 Main customers includes the Oakland Raiders, the 2002-3 AFC champions and three-year AFC West champions. By signing with 365 Main, the Oakland Raiders’ on-field commitment to excellence is now matched by their on-line commitment to excellence.

365 Main has ten 2.1 installed Megawatt generators, full on-site utility integration, 60,000 gallons of fuel on site, and ironclad fuel delivery contracts. The carrier neutral facility also gives its clients the flexibility to access a diverse selection of network providers.

“Our top priority is to serve our clients’ unique needs, and effectively address their concerns,” said Jean Paul Balajadia, Vice President of 365 Main. “In today’s global economy, we needed to exceed minimum building and service standards to demonstrate our commitment to keeping our customers up and running. 365 Main went to great lengths to perfect our on site capabilities and retain multiple redundancies so that our customers’ data and Internet traffic will survive through any challenge.”
