BOSTON — February 5,
2009 —
Carbonite, Inc., the
leading provider of
online backup
services for
consumers and small
businesses, today
announced the
expansion of its
capacity and the
opening of a new
data center to
support the
company's rapid
growth. The new data
center is in a
collocation facility
operated by Internap
Network Services
Corporation (NASDAQ:
INAP), a global
provider of
end-to-end Internet
business solutions.
As the anchor tenant
of Internap's newest
Boston-area data
center, Carbonite's
storage capacity
will more than
triple.
"We chose to
locate our new data
center with Internap
because of their
brand new facility
with
state-of-the-art
security, power and
connectivity," said
Keith Cooper,
president of
Carbonite. "Internap
is one of the few
companies with the
ability to
accommodate our
rapid growth."
The expansion is
a timely investment
aimed at positioning
Carbonite for
continued growth in
the consumer and
small business
online computer
backup industry. The
company tripled in
both revenue and
subscribers last
year. Since its
inception, Carbonite
has backed up more
than 25 billion
files and restored
more than 2 billion
files that otherwise
would have been lost
forever.
"Our plans call
for continued growth
in both the consumer
and the small
business segments,"
notes Cooper.
"Consumers finally
have a way to backup
their photos, tax
files, etc without
having to do
anything except sign
up for the Carbonite
service. Small
businesses can
actually slash their
backup costs by
using Carbonite
which is a very
compelling
proposition in these
trying economic
times."
Key executives
from both Carbonite
and Internap, along
with local
dignitaries will
celebrate the
opening of the new
data center on
February 5, 2009 at
50 Inner Belt Road
in Somerville with a
ribbon cutting
ceremony and open
house from 3 — 7
p.m. Gathering to
mark the ceremonies
will be Carbonite
President Keith
Cooper, VP/GM of
Internap's Data
Center Services
Business Unit Mike
Higgins, the
Honorable Joseph A.
Curtatone, Mayor of
the City of
Somerville, and many
of the contractors
who worked to build
the new data center.
