Hosting Company With High Standards For Technology And Customer Service Continues Expansion with Bay Area Growth

Mountain View, CA and Hoboken, NJ - October 21, 2002 - DataPipe, a trusted hosting company providing managed solutions for any size business, today announced the addition of a new office in Mountain View, California, to support the ever-growing demand for its Web hosting services.

Led by Robert Rorro, vice president of sales and marketing, the Mountain View office will serve as a hub for West Coast and Pacific Rim-based clients, providing additional resources for global load balancing and disaster recovery, and lending service support to the company's headquarters in New Jersey.

Due to the company's intense focus on customer service - something that's rarely seen in the Web hosting industry - demand for DataPipe's services have flourished since the company launched in 1996. But instead of taking the 'build it and they will come' attitude with regards to additional office space and data centers, the founders of DataPipe chose a more organic growth strategy that has enabled the company to be profitable for 12 straight quarters.

'The new Mountain View office will continue our commitment to delivering hosting solutions and excellent customer support to companies in the Bay area and Pacific Rim. Unlike other hosting companies, DataPipe promises all of its customers immediate live customer support from an experienced, certified professional,' said Robb Allen, CEO of DataPipe. 'Because we are intensely focused on client support and satisfaction, we have been able to consistently achieve profitability and growth since our inception. Our unique approach has enabled us to avoid the well publicized problems that have faced some of the better known players in our industry.'
