GAITHERSBURG, MD -- 6 August 2002 - STEEM LLC announced today that that in light of the growing demands from customers and concerns regarding reliability and security, STEEM has moved its web hosting operations. STEEM signed a contract with Internap (http://www.internap.com) for bandwidth and colocation at the Equinix (http://www.equinix.com) IBX® (Internet Business Exchange) center just outside Washington, DC.

Recently, the company providing us with 'Super-T1' service had an outage," said Don Rude, Co-Founder and CTO of STEEM. This, and recent security concerns, cemented our resolve to find a permanent, high quality solution with above average security."

Mr. Rude stated, Internap allows us to provide our customers with an excellent quality of service, consistently. With many of our clients operating e-businesses, outages and slow performance are unacceptable. Internaps reputation and advanced traffic management software made them the obvious choice to provide outstanding service to our customers."

The Equinix IBX center offers enhanced security, advanced fire protection, fully automated power backup, and guaranteed environmental controls. It is staffed 24/7 with security guards and features multiple levels of biomentric security throughout the center. This is a secure Internet hub that surpasses all others that I considered. I can sleep at night knowing my infrastructure is at Equinix," said Mr. Rude. I believe this move will provide every one of our customers with improved service on all levels including better reliability, scalability, and in the long term, a cost savings."
