High-Capacity Data Center to Open in CICANNAPOLIS, MD (February 12, 2004) - Anne Arundel County Executive Janet S. Owens today announced that Sidus Group, LLC, which specializes in managing web hosting solutions, has expanded AlwaysOnline.net, its data center operations. AlwaysOnline.net is now signing up clients for one of the most sophisticated commercial data centers in Anne Arundel County, to open next month in Annapolis at the Chesapeake Innovation Center (CIC), Anne Arundel County's business incubator. The AlwaysOnline data center offers a secure facility for colocation, where customers may house their web server equipment, reaping the advantages of a data center. The data center provides high-capacity bandwidth, managed hosting services, and redundant power that will protect against emergencies like power outages. "The AlwaysOnline data center represents another important step in Anne Arundel County's development as a technology leader," Ms. Owens said. "Until now, many firms have had to host their servers outside the local area limiting physical access - or go without the benefits of a modern data center." The CIC, an initiative of the Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation (www.cic-tech.org), is the first high technology business incubator in the nation focused on the homeland security sector. AlwaysOnline.net has been chosen by the CIC to be its exclusive data services partner and will provide a wide range of services for the center and its growing number of client companies. "The convenience, security and cost-effectiveness of our data center is already attracting significant interest from businesses across the county and central Maryland,” Sidus CEO Mark Powell said. "We think those factors, plus our dedication to superior customer service, will provide major benefits to our clients." Sidus, currently headquartered in Crofton, MD, began operations in 1999. The company, through AlwaysOnline.net, provides a range of hosting solutions to several thousand clients from the United States and 27 other countries.
