Iland's Phase 1 CRG West expansion encompasses approximately 1,500 sq ft with future plans to expand within the facility. This new agreement augments iland's colocation footprint in the California market, complimenting existing data center space in nearby Tustin, California, as well as San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland. CRG West's Wilshire Annex data center is ideal for bandwidth-intensive and latency-sensitive networks such as iland and its clients.

Scott Sparvero, CEO of iland Internet Solutions added, ''We are proud to announce our latest High Availability Hub in the L.A. area. The Wilshire Annex location joins a growing list of other iland Hubs located in Boston, New York, Washington DC, Dallas, Houston, and London. We strategically select the cities that have a growing demand for bandwidth-intensive services and applications, and we select key, state-of-the-art buildings within these cities, such as CRG West's Wilshire Annex, to house our Hubs according to the highest industry standards. This guarantees iland customers the most secure and robust network and cost-saving opportunities.''

CRG West also offers redundant dark fiber and DWDM access directly to the company's internationally-renowned One Wilshire location, one of the most connected data centers in the world with over 300 international carriers and enterprise networks. iland customers can also easily access iland's 10 Gb Ethernet IP network for cost-effective connections to Tier 1 backbones. iland is transforming its 1,500 square feet of space to become the company's latest High Availability Hub.

The Hub will include access to iland's hosted VMware VI Enterprise Solutions, where businesses can host multiple operating systems and multiple applications locally and in remote locations, allowing maximum performance, high availability, data protection and improved disaster recovery processes. This hosted VMware solution also allows organizations to reduce space, power and equipment costs.

Additionally, the iland High Availability Hub will offer mission critical dedicated servers, managed SAN storage, managed network and security services, access to iland's cost-effective, Tier-1, high-speed IP network and carrier-neutral connectivity across a variety of networks. iland's new data center space is now available.
