Colo4 Celebrates 10 Years in Business

Colocation Provider Marks Milestone with Plans to Expand Data Center Space and Power Capacity

(DALLAS, Texas - December 21, 2010) – Colo4 (www.colo4.com), a leading provider of carrier-neutral, premium colocation and data center services, is marking the company’s 10th year in business. Founded in 2000, Colo4 has experienced steady growth and is embarking on another expansion of its data center space.

“Reaching 10 years in business is a rare milestone in our industry, and we owe much of our longevity and success to our customers for their trust, business and referrals over the past decade,” said Paul Estes, chairman and CEO of Colo4. With increasing demand for the state-of-the-art data center environment, power infrastructure, and technical support that Colo4 provides, Estes notes that the company is planning a power and space expansion in early 2011. He adds, “This expansion will allow us to continue to meet growth needs for both existing and new customers.” The project will add nearly 10,000 sq.ft. of raised floor and four megawatts of power, with 11.1 total megawatts of power available upon completion.

Colo4 was founded by Paul VanMeter and Pat Thompson, who remain as the company’s CTO and vice president of administration respectively. Their goal was to build a world-class data center where customers would have leading-edge technology and peace of mind. VanMeter notes, “Rather than try to keep up with the dollars our competitors were spending on advertising and marketing, we continually invested in our facility and built a culture committed to technical excellence and service. I believe that strategy is why we have the finest data center and support team in Dallas today.”

Over the years, Colo4 has garnered numerous awards for growth including being ranked four times on the Dallas 100™ list presented by the Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship at SMU and three times on Inc. magazine’s annual listing of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. In 2009, Colo4 was named one of DFW's Best Places to Work in an annual survey conducted by the Dallas Business Journal.

Colo4 is a SAS70 Type II audited provider that serves enterprise customers; businesses in the financial, health care, and technology sectors; and interactive media and content delivery providers.
