Relera Opens Charlotte Center

April 9, 2001 -- Managed hosting provider Relera Inc. continued its rapid rollout of Internet data center this week with the opening of its new facility in Charlotte, N.C.
Relera, founded early last year with $300 million in financing, provides hosting, data storage, intelligent load balancing, advanced caching and security to bandwidth-intensive companies.
"Charlotte businesses now have an outsourced Internet solution in their own backyard which was previously unavailable,'' said Jeff King, a 20-year IT industry veteran and director of Releras Charlotte IDC, who said Relera's services "allow businesses to focus on what they do best instead of worrying about the complexity of maintaining an in-house infrastructure.''
The Charlotte center is one of five facilities Relera is debuting in the space of a month, with the others in Richmond, Va.; Memphis, Tenn.; Las Vegas; and San Antonio. The company plans "mid-year" openings of centers in Sacramento, Calif.; Raleigh, N.C.; Salt Lake City; Cleveland; Denver and San Diego.
Relera has established partnerships with some industry heavyweights - including Cisco Systems, Inc., Juniper Networks, Level 3 Communications - to offer its customers a package of infrastructure and managed services.
Relera Inc. has headquarters in Denver and San Diego.
