April 21, 2003 -- eXchange @ 200 Paul has signed five new customers in the last month for its colocation services, the company said today.
The new customer signups build on market momentum for 200 Paul, a carrier hotel with more than 420,000 square feet in two buildings and connectivity from 32 different network providers. With its eXchange Colocation unit, it is among the leading examples of a building owner offering carrier-neutral colo space.
"We continue to see growing demand for our colocation services as companies are looking for a reliable business partner that will take the guesswork out of choosing a colocation partner," said John Wilson, president and CEO of eXchange @ 200 Paul.
"As the market continues to consolidate in 2003 and we expand our wide array of Internet and telecommunications providers, we believe that eXchange @ 200 Paul will continue to emerge as the de facto choice for colocation services in the San Francisco Bay Area," Wilson added.
The new customers include:

• MessageLabs, Inc., a provider of managed email security services to businesses worldwide, scanning email and eliminating threats such as viruses, spam and other unwanted content before they reach end users.
• VerticalResponse, Inc., an email marketing provider whose iBuilder service allows businesses to quickly create and deliver email marketing campaigns regardless of technical expertise.
• Native Hosting, which offers dedicated servers for high-traffic image and video intensive web sites. Native Hosting focuses exclusively on international and domestic high-bandwidth dedicated server customers requiring ten megabits or more of bandwidth.
• LegalMatch, which helps match attorneys and high-value clients in their preferred specialty.
• ISC, a not-for-profit provider of software and services to the Internet infrastructure community. Assets deployed within eXchange @ 200 Paul include a mirror of ISC's f-root name server and resources such as the NetBSD Project and the Linux Kernel Project.

"After a thorough analysis of the colocation market in the San Francisco Bay area, eXchange @ 200 Paul emerged as the ideal company to host VerticalResponse's iBuilder application," said Jeff McConathy, chief technology officer of VerticalResponse.
