CYRUSONE DEMONSTRATES CONTINUED GROWTH
WITH ADDITION OF MULTIPLE CLIENTS
Commitment to customer service pays off as key clients expand services by 40%

Houston, TX, July 21, 2003 – CyrusOne (www.cyrusone.com), Houston’s premier provider of managed hosting, colocation, and managed services announced that several new clients had recently signed on to house their critical servers and applications in CyrusOne’s 65,000 square foot facility located inside the loop on the Southwest Freeway. They also noted that several existing clients chose to expand their services with the company as a result of the company’s experienced technical staff and commitment to quality.

“Many of our new clients were having various issues with critical applications and were in need of a solution that would enable them to provide reliable 24/7 service to their clients. Others were looking for a secure environment that would enable them to comply with various federal regulations such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley. CyrusOne was able to provide them with the reliable and secure environment they needed so that they could concentrate more on their core business and less on their IT network,” said David Ferdman, CEO of CyrusOne.

Several of the company’s new clients include:

• Crescent Communications/BLUEGATE, which develops and operates voice and data connectivity and integration solutions;
• DYONYX, a privately held information technology and management consulting firm with multiple clients across the country;
• Hanover Compressor Company, a global market leader in full service natural gas compression and a leading provider of service, financing, fabrication and equipment for contract natural gas handling applications;
• Quanex Corporation, an industry-leading manufacturer of engineered materials and components for the Vehicular Products and Building Products markets;
• RAIR Technologies, a provider of medical transcription services to doctors; and
• Velocity Futures, a global futures commission merchant providing traders all over the world access to the electronic futures markets.

While location, access and reliability were important factors for many of their new clients, Quanex Corporation also took advantage of the company’s other service offerings. “Originally, we brought CyrusOne in to provide us with a fully detailed network assessment to help us identify security gaps in our network,” stated Paul Giddens, vice president of human resources. “We were so impressed by their professionalism and competency, that in addition to choosing them as our hosting provider, we also engaged them to manage and monitor the performance and security of our network so that we could focus on our business.”

CyrusOne also announced the expansion of managed services for several leading clients including two web hosting companies: Jaguar Technologies and NetMaster Hosting. Additionally, in an effort to accommodate infrastructure budgets, a large Fortune 500 customer engaged the company to augment their IT staff and conduct Level 1 and 2 NOCC functions including but not limited to, advanced monitoring of their network, notification of system alerts, etc. CyrusOne is also currently in discussion to provide the company with Enterprise Management services.
Despite the downturn in the economy, CyrusOne has seen steady growth since first opening its doors to companies in the Houston region in June 2001. It is an accomplishment that they attribute largely to their ability to deliver effective and cost-saving solutions to their customers, as well as their commitment to exceed customer expectations on service and ongoing support and responsiveness.

The company is also proud of its renewal rate, which remains at 100%. Clients like Greg Landis, CEO of Jaguar Technologies, are enthusiastic about the superior services and exceptional customer service offered by CyrusOne. “CyrusOne’s expertise and their level of commitment to security and service have been instrumental in our ability to expand our business which has led us to triple our commitment with them in the last twelve months,” says Landis. “At Jaguar Technologies, we believe that our relationship with CyrusOne is an indispensable element in our growth resulting in increased operations, production and profits.”
