October 8, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider Hosting.com (www.hosting.com) announced on Wednesday it has completed expansion on its San Francisco, data center, which is locateda few blocks from AT&T Park.

Hosting.com added 7,000 square feet of high-density colocation space that provides over 300 watts of power and cooling per square foot and 10Gbps of managed connectivity to clients.

The expanded facility will also be a strategic component for Hosting.com's new cloud computing platform, CloudNine, which the company recently showcased at VMworld 2008 conference in September as part of the VMware vCloud Initiative.

The demand for secure colocation space in downtown San Francisco continues to outpace availability. Hosting.com decided to meet the growing demands of existing clients and new businesses in the bay area by purchasing more 7,000 square feet of colocation space in its building in May.

"Hosting.com is expanding in San Francisco and soon in Silicon Valley because Northern California businesses continue to search for quality data center space and managed hosting solutions due to their rapid growth," says Jonathan Erwin, Hosting.com VP of sales and marketing. "Space is limited in this highly dense area and few colocation providers can match the level of service, support and cooling capacity that we are providing in San Francisco."

The company's San Francisco data center supplies over 300 watts of power and cooling per square foot and up to 10Gbps of redundant connectivity for bandwidth routing optimization. Its colocation solutions range in custom build to suite arrangement options.

The facility will also provide geographically dispersed failover and tiered high availability for its cloud computing platform, CloudNine, whose virtual infrastructure is spread across Hosting.com's five data centers throughout North America.

Hosting.com also owns and operates additional data centers in Louisville, Kentucky, Irvine, California, and Boston, Massachusetts. The company says it will also be opening a new data center in Santa Clara, California in 2009.

All Hosting.com facilities are SAS 70 Type II certified and include redundant layers of security, connectivity and managed services.

Hosting.com provides a range of services, including enterprise colocation, cloud computing, dedicated hosting, managed hosting, disaster recovery and business continuance services.
