365 Main’s superior reliability, quality customer service, and prime location provides
a balanced solution for any data-driven business

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., November 18, 2003 – EDAW – a leading landscape architecture, urban design, and environmental consulting firm with offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, China and Australia – has chosen 365 Main to be their worldwide data center. EDAW moved their critical data communication operations to San Francisco-based 365 Main, to host their web-based software solutions for project accounting, resource planning, CRM and proposal development.

A dynamic service-oriented firm with approximately $90 million in annual revenue, EDAW required a stable solution that would allow 27 international offices to communicate with each other without a hitch. The 24/7/365 technical support and uptime provided by 365 Main ensures that each and every one of EDAW’s 1000+ employees have uninterrupted access to their crucial web-based software solution across 24 time zones.

“365 Main offered an excellent solution for our data communication needs,” said Susan Rajnic, Director of Networks for EDAW. “Part of what makes our company successful is our ability to have our experts from around the globe work fluidly with each other. We strive to advance our client’s projects and work best when all the divisions of our company are in sync. The level of customer service available from 365 Main will contribute to these efforts.

Housed at 365 Main, EDAW’s servers are now in close proximity to its San Francisco-based network engineers. 365 Main’s N+2 redundancy, seismic safety, and 24/7 on site remote hands service, allow EDAW to concentrate on running its core business.
“The experienced team at 365 Main understands the level of service required by its customers in a World Class Data Center,” said Jean-Paul Balajadia, Vice President of 365 Main. “Our solid infrastructure, skilled and seasoned staff, and our strong commitment to client satisfaction make us well-equipped to handle non-stop mission-critical communications of international companies like EDAW.”
