CyrusOne Expands Facilities as IT Infrastructure Outsourcing Trend Continues


Houston, TX
April 27, 2005 - CyrusOne has expanded its flagship Houston data center, and announced a 2nd data center in the Greenspoint (North Houston) area. As the trend of outsourcing managed IT services such as data security, data storage, network and systems administration, business continuity, disaster recovery continues, CyrusOne has significantly increased its capacity to ensure smooth growth for the Company and its customers.

CyrusOne’s data center headquarters houses the core IT functionality for companies such as Schlumberger, Dynegy, Enbridge Energy and The METRO Transit Authority. The Company provides a premium core IT infrastructure--from high-density power and cooling to managed IT services and enterprise level managed hosting--using an outsourced model. As the demand for IT infrastructure has gained momentum, and CyrusOne has solidified itself as a premium service provider, the facility has outgrown its original capacity. The new expansion phase will give current and prospective customers access to a high-performance data center space, with the confidence that future capacity and resources will not be an issue.

The company has also recently launched a second data center in the Greenspoint area at I-45 and Beltway 8 to address increased customer demand. This new facility brings many benefits to CyrusOne customers including:

• Mirrored operations. Some companies wish to house operations in two separate CyrusOne facilities for disaster recovery and business continuity purposes.

• Convenience. Reduced travel time for CyrusOne customers located in North Houston.

Increasing dependency on real time information, the rapidly changing technology environment, data security challenges, regulatory demands and consolidation across a number of industries have helped fuel CyrusOne’s business growth.

CyrusOne Chief Operating Officer Kenneth Wolverton comments: “We’re not building and expanding just because our business has thrived, but also because we see more customers with high-density configurations than we did a few years ago. Some have staggering power, air and cooling requirements. By staying on top of these projected demands with initiatives like this expansion and our new Greenspoint facility, we assume the risk associated with managing these needs as reliably and profitably as possible to provide flexibility. We take a pro-active approach in capacity management to take care of our customers today and as they grow. Customers can focus on managing their businesses and not worry about the reliability, availability and security of their data and IT systems.”
