365 MAIN ENSURES 365 DAYS OF UPTIME FOR CRAIGSLIST

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 7, 2007 –– 365 Main Inc., developer and operator of the world’s finest data centers, has provided craigslist.org with 100-percent uptime since the popular networking site became a tenant at 365 Main’s San Francisco facility one year ago.

Craigslist, which offers local classifieds and forums for 450 cities worldwide, is the seventh largest English-language site in the world and receives more than five billion page views per month. Since going live with 365 Main in February 2006, it has experienced zero unscheduled downtime.

“More than 15 million people in all 50 states and more than 50 countries trust craigslist each month to help them with critical time-sensitive needs such as finding a job or a place to live, so it’s extremely important that the site is up and running at all times in all time zones,” said Eric Scheide, craigslist chief technology officer. “365 Main’s world-class data center has played a key role in allowing us to serve the craigslist community around the clock and around the globe, and we’ve been more than pleased with the caliber of service we’ve received.”

Scheide said overall quality was the deciding factor in the choice to go with 365 Main for its colocation needs, in addition to location and price. Scheide also liked the number of carriers available in the facility and said craigslist will probably take more advantage of that this year. “It was really easy to get a network deal done in the building,” he said.

Craigslist has many load balancing and failover schemes within its cage and redundant fiber going to its IP provider, which has six or seven pipes out of the building.

365 Main’s strategy for 24X7 uptime
To ensure uptime for all its tenants, each of 365 Main’s data centers features modern power and cooling infrastructure. The company’s San Francisco facility, for example, includes two complete back-up systems for electrical power to protect against a power loss. In the unlikely event of a cut to a primary power feed, the state-of-the-art electrical system instantly switches to live back-up generators to keep the data center continuously running and shield tenants from costly downtime.

“Craigslist is one of the most popular sites in the world and certainly one of everyone’s favorites here in San Francisco, so we are extremely proud to name it among our clients, said Chris Dolan, CEO of 365 Main. “Celebrating 365 days of continual uptime is a great first step, but we are aiming for many such celebrations in the future and will continue to work hard to provide craigslist with the high level of service that earned us this account in the first place.”
