SAN FRANCISCO, CA., April
5, 2004 ––
365 Main, the Bay Area’s safest, most secure and reliable
Data Center, today announced that HOTorNOT, the Bay Area’s
most talked about people connection site on the Web has chosen
365 Main as the co-location center to protect their company’s
infrastructure. Equipped with ten 2.1 Megawatt continuous
power systems, an N+2 facility–wide redundancy, an award-winning
base isolation system, and 60,000 gallons of fuel on-site,
365 Main’s structural resiliency is rapidly becoming
recognized as the industry’s leading state-of-the-art
data center.
HOTorNOT is one of the most talked
about social sites on the internet these days. The company
offers visitors the opportunity to anonymously view over 11
million photos voluntarily posted by fellow users and can
rate their opinion on how a person looks on a scale of 1-10.
The company has already accounted for over 8 Billion votes
to date.
“"We moved to 365 Main
because we have confidence in their ability to deliver a quality,
highly reliable product,” says James Hong, Co-founder
and President of HOTorNOT. “Our confidence in their
ability to grow and maintain a solid business model is what
we were looking for after our last facility shut down. We
were careful when choosing a new facility and 365 Main exceeded
all the requirements we were looking for when addressing our
business continuity needs””
“365 Main is the only data
center in the Bay Area that is enrolled in government disaster
recovery programs and meets and exceeds building standard
set by the Uniform Building Code (UBC) and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
“Moving to a financially
stable, more secure facility is a business-critical decision
companies need to face,” says, Kevin Shanahan, Vice
President Sales & Marketing for 365 Main. “HOTorNOT
made the right decision by choosing 365 Main. We ensure their
business stays focused on its customers, not whether they
will have power, connectivity, and a financially stable place
for their servers.”
365 Main has been attracting attention
among Bay Area businesses because of its robust building infrastructure,
advanced certifications and award-winning architecture. The
company maintains an 87,000 square feet mission critical data
center and is known as one of the most intelligently designed
