Verio Opens Portland Data Center

Jan. 17, 2001 -- Verio Inc. announced today the opening of a new 30,000-square-foot advanced data center in Portland, Ore. as it continues to expand its network.
The company, a subsidiary of NTT Communications, said it currently plans to construct and open additional data centers in Dallas, Chicago, San Jose, Newark, Denver and New York City.
With the Portland launch, Verio extends its strong presence in the Northwest, including data centers in Seattle and Bellevue, Wash. In addition, a new data center is being constructed in the Seattle area. The company currently employs nearly 90 people in the area.
"With the boom in virtual services occurring across the country, Verio continues to provide businesses with the most effective Web-hosting solutions to give them a competitive edge,'' said Justin Jaschke, Verio chief executive officer. "As customer demand increases for data centers, we will meet those needs with advanced data center facilities like Portland's, which allows customers to streamline their hosting operations and eliminate the need to integrate multiple vendors, tasks and platforms.''
Verio will offer customers a range of managed services needed to run their online business effectively. Verio Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTT Communications (NTT Com), which provides long distance international telecommunications reaching over 200 countries worldwide.
