Cybercon Opens New St. Louis Internet Data Center

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cybercon Opens New St. Louis Internet Data Center

St. Louis, MO -- August 15, 2000 -- Cybercon, a

leading provider of advanced Internet hosting and

managed services, today announced its new 22,000

square foot data center located at 210 North Tucker

Boulevard in St. Louis, MO. Cybercon's new data

center was designed to meet the intensifying

worldwide demand for increased bandwidth and help

clients face the challenges they encounter while

expanding their networks. Cybercon addresses these

issues by featuring direct multi-backbone

connections for high performance and redundancy,

rich fiber connections to all major carriers,

scalable bandwidth capacity from OC3 to OC192 and

a Network Operations Center (NOC) that is staffed

24x7.

"We have aggressively expanded our data center

capacity to meet the growing worldwide market

demand," said Joshua Chen, CTO of Cybercon.

"Cybercon continues to enhance its position as a

leader in the advanced Web hosting market by

combining our high performance Internet network

with comprehensive Internet technologies."

The new data center has direct connections to UUNET

(WorldCom), Sprint, AT&T and Level 3 Communications,

allowing clients to outsource their E-business needs

to Cybercon without having to worry about their link

with top Internet backbone providers. Many small and

medium size businesses cannot afford to build their

own data center, therefore; E-business outsourcing

will also save clients tens of thousands of dollars

in equipment fees and thousands of dollars in

monthly fees.

As E-business grows and businesses need to have a

server that hosts only their site, the dedicated

server and collocation industry will also grow.

With a dedicated or collocated server, you no longer

have to worry about the loads being placed on a

single shared server and disk space being shared

with other sites. Cybercon can now host over 10,000

servers at its new data center and will provide each

with world-class Internet data center features. In

addition to the traditional dedicated server and

collocation clients, others who will benefit from

the new data center are those in need of services

designed for telecom providers and those needing

rack space, storage devices or dedicated ISDN, DSL,

T1, T3, OC3, 10mb and 100mb Ethernet connections.

The building in which Cybercon resides is supplied

with triple power feeds from the utility company.

In the event of a power outage, the data center is

equipped with a 1.5-Megawatt ONAN diesel generator.

This generator, which can keep the network up and

running indefinitely, will take over until the

utility company has power restored. The data center

also uses an MGE data center Uninterruptible Power

Supply (UPS). This UPS has been installed to

constantly monitor and regulate the quality of power

coming from the wall so that equipment always

receives the clean 120-volt power it was designed

for.

The new data center is protected with a pre-action

fire protection system. It also boasts complete

environmental control with its redundant Liebert

indoor cooling systems and is kept at an optimal

temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit. These cooling

systems provide precise, reliable control of room

temperature, humidity, and airflow that improves

operating conditions for sensitive electronic

equipment.

Access to the building can be achieved through an

automatic door, which is operated by a state-of-

the-art access control system. Since all employees

have access to the building, a detailed record of

employee and visitor entry is maintained at all

times. Fewer employees have access to responsive

areas of the data center and must pass through

multi-point security checks, including bio-metric

readers, for data center access. In addition to

security, the new data center offers all the

conveniences of a modern office, including a

reception area, personal workstations connected

to a Local Area Network (LAN) and conference room

facilities.
