OVERVIEW OF EAPPS® HOSTING'S DATA CENTERS AND NETWORK

Having outstanding people is a necessary requirement for delivering the highest level of managed hosting services. In addition, the performance, reliability and availability of the network must also be unsurpassed. To meet your expectations, our network is housed in a world class data center, operated by Quality Technology Services, Inc., one of the leading data center providers in the world. Quality Technology Services (QTS) provides eApps with the data center infrastructure and high volume, redundant Internet connections required to support commerical grade web sites and applications.

DATA CENTERS

Richmond, VA - Our second data center is the Richmond data center of QTS. This new facility is the second largest data center in the world, with vast on-site power and hundreds of thousands of feet of raised floor. It is a state of the art facility with ample capacity for the future growth of our company.

Suwanee, GA - Our original facility is the Suwanee data center of QTS, located in the Northeast part of the greater metropolitan area of Atlanta. This 376,000 square foot facility is one of the top data centers in the USA. It is located in a geographic formation that minimizes the possibility of wind and tornado damage. Temperature is regulated within a very low tolerance. The data center has redundant UPS power systems for essential power backup, with sufficient generators to ensure unlimited critical backup power.

The data centers are served by multiple high speed optical connections from various backbone providers. Our primary feed is through Internap, one of the most highly rated backbone providers. Internap's ability to intelligently route traffic for maximum throughput is unsurpassed.  Internap also has superior abilities to detect and quickly respond to threats and traffic issues.  Our investment in this upstream provider is well justified.

NETWORK

Within the data center, we have total control of our hosting environment. We have designed our own switched network which is maintained by us. This structure provides the best of both worlds - QTS manages the capital intensive infrastructure and we manage the network and servers that our customer's sites and applications run on. This approach provides you the following benefits:

• Availability -- The data center is over-engineered to provide redundancy at every possible point of failure. This includes multiple high speed feeds to the Internet backbone, re-generated power to ensure power purity, batteries and generators in case of power failures, storm proof facilities, and more.
  
  
• Performance -- At the data center level, high speed, high capacity network equipment is used to ensure throughput and best routing over the Internet. Likewise, the eApps network contained inside the data center uses top of the line network equipment for maximum performance.
  
  
• Responsiveness -- Since we manage our own network, we are able to respond with speed and effectiveness whenever an issue arises in the hosting environment. As mentioned previously, QTS is a leader in managing the data center. This specialization of effort results in our customers receiving the prompt care and attention through personal service from eApps with the security and reliability of a world class data center managed by QTS.
