For Immediate Release
euro909.com to Unveil One of Europe's Largest Internet Data Centers
as Part of Pan-European Hosting Initiative
State-of-the-art Web/application hosting facilities to employ
Teleglobe backbone connection
COPENHAGEN, Denmark - June 28, 2000 - euro909.com A/S (NASADAQ ADS:
ENON, Warrant: ENONW), today announced that it will launch a new
flagship Internet data center capable of housing more than 1,500
servers and delivering one of the strongest high-availability
bandwidth capacities in Europe. Expected to become operational by
August 1, 2000, the hosting facilities will be located within
euro909.com's new 2,700 square meter (approximately 29,663 square
feet) Soborg, Denmark property.
Equipped with cutting edge security, redundancy, reliability, and
management features, the new data center will offer a premium hosting
environment for euro909.com customers. The facilities were designed
with a wide range of physical security features, including
state-of-the-art smoke detection and fire suppression systems, 24x7
secured access and video camera surveillance, as well as security
breach alarms. The server room was specially-designed with flooring
to prevent water damage and with redundant temperature control and
air conditioning systems. The center will deliver the highest levels
of reliability through a number of redundant subsystems, such as
multiple fiber trunk uplinks, fully redundant power backups, and a
diesel-powered backup generator.
"The construction of the new data center gives euro909.com an
increased technical ability to support clients' mission-critical
applications and Web projects," said Aldo Petersen, chief executive
officer (CEO) of euro909.com. "The facilities will initially service
more than 20,000 Web-hosting accounts and has the capacity to host
tens of thousands more. As euro909.com acquires additional hosting
companies, such as Netbasen, we plan to integrate them into this data
center."
Teleglobe Backbone Connection
Through an agreement between euro909.com's subsidiary, Digiweb
Danmark (www.digiweb.dk) and Teleglobe (NYSE, TSE: TGO), a leading
global provider of broadband services, the new data center will
secure a broadband connection to Teleglobe's extensive global
network. The agreement provides increased bandwidth capacity to
hosted Web sites through an STM-1 line (equal to 155 Megabits per
second (Mbps)) connected directly to Teleglobe's GlobeSystemsm
multimedia backbone.
At the same time, Digiweb maintains its agreement with Tele Danmark
A/S (NYSE: TLD) for full redundant delivery through two E-3 Internet
routing systems (each capable of 34Mbps). The combined capacity
provides the data center with total access to the Internet at 223Mbps.
"We feel this agreement with Teleglobe provides us with the necessary
flexibility to follow-through with our overall strategy and expansion
plans for Scandinavia and Europe without having to find new backbone
suppliers for each country we enter," said Jan Johansson, CEO of
Digiweb. "Greater bandwidth gives our customers and end-users greater
access and more reliability during peak demand periods together with
a high level of up-time."
"We are very pleased to provide Digiweb with our broadband services
within the competitive European market, and we look forward to
expanding with them throughout Europe and providing additional
bandwidth solutions stemming from our worldwide backbone," said
Morten Jaeger Petersen, head of marketing for Teleglobe Denmark. "The
expansion strategy of euro909.com and Digiweb matches our $5 billion
investment plan over the next five years to expand GlobeSystem into
160 major cities throughout the world. More than just the deployment
of capacity, GlobeSystem is the integration of service creation,
reach, technology and capacity - each of which will play a critical
role in satisfying new, bandwidth-intensive applications on a global
scale."
