365 Main Adds Leading International Social Network, hi5, Ad Client At Its Oakland Facility
2008-04-08
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., APRIL 8, 2008 –– Data center developer and
operator 365 Main today announced that the leading international social network,
hi5, has expanded its data center footprint to include 365 Main’s newest
facility in Oakland, California. San Francisco-based hi5, which has more than 80
million registered users globally, has been a tenant at 365 Main’s flagship San
Francisco data center since 2004.
hi5 was founded in 2003 and has since become the 8th most-trafficked website in
the world, and the #1 social network in over 20 nations. The company’s expansion
with 365 Main totals more than 2,500 square feet at the Oakland data center,
which officially opened in September 2007.
“Social networking sites like hi5 promise a reliable, 24X7 experience to their
users, and to deliver on that promise requires modern data center
infrastructure,” said Chris Dolan, CEO of 365 Main. “Our Oakland facility was
designed for exactly this type of requirement, and we’re proud to be adding this
world-class organization to our existing Oakland tenant roster.”
“365 Main has been responsive to our needs and has provided a secure home for
our servers in San Francisco for more than three years,” said hi5 Founder and
CEO, Ramu Yalamanchi. “With our rapidly expanding service and necessity for
multiple high-performance data center locations, expanding our partnership and
leasing additional space from 365 Main in Oakland made sense for our business.”
365 Main opened its Oakland facility last year after purchasing the
telecommunications shell in January 2007. Construction began immediately and the
facility was fully commissioned by December 2007. Leasing activity in the
facility has been brisk as companies seek a secure, reliable home for the modern
computing environments that drive today’s digital economy.
