(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Real estate investment firm and data center operator DuPont Fabros Technology (www.dft.com) announced on Monday that Net2EZ Managed Data Centers (www.net2ez.net) has pre-leased space at the company's ACC5 data center facility in Ashburn, Virginia.
The details regarding the data center lease were announced earlier, along with the company's fourth quarter 2008 results.
Net2EZ Managed Data Centers, which provides colocation, metro-connectivity and managed data center services, has pre-leased 2.275MW of critical load at DuPont Fabros' ACC5 data center.
The space accounts for 12.5 percent of ACC5's Phase I available critical load and is included in the 57 percent of space pre-leased to date at that facility.
DuPont Fabros first began constructing ACC5 from the ground-up in the first quarter of 2008.
The company expects the data center to be completed in the third quarter of 2009, at which point the two phases of 18.2MW will total 36.4MW of critical load.
Net2EZ currently leases 2.275 MW of critical load at the company's ACC4 data center facility in Ashburn.
"Through this agreement with Net2EZ at ACC5 we are strengthening our relationship with a high quality and valued tenant at our Ashburn campus," says Hossein Fateh, president and CEO of DuPont Fabros Technology. "Moreover, this will allow smaller companies to capitalize on the level of reliability we've made available through our best in class data centers. Looking ahead, it is our hope that Net2EZ will serve as an effective conduit through which smaller scale companies will develop, thrive and ultimately become direct tenants of DFT."
DuPont Fabros Technology provides real estate investment services, as well as owns, develops, operates and manages wholesale data centers.
In October, DuPont Fabros Technology announced it would delay a $270 million data center in Santa Clara, California after it failed to attain enough capital to finance the project.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
