ViaWest Exceeds Market Growth Predictions with Expansion in Colorado, Utah and Oregon
Growing industry demand prompts company to advance operations in major markets

Denver – Nov. 7, 2007 – ViaWest, a leading provider of adaptable colocation and managed hosting solutions, today announced it exceeded industry growth expectations by doubling its data center capacity throughout Colorado, Utah and Oregon in 2007 to meet demand. As part of this expansion, ViaWest also added two new enterprise-class data centers in Colorado, resulting in an additional 110K gross sq. ft. of data center space.

According to Dan Golding of Tier1 Research, data center demand is currently increasing by 13 percent a year. ViaWest’s growth in 2007 has already exceeded market predictions. In Colorado, ViaWest has increased its gross square footage by 144 percent in order to service new clients, as well as to address growth from its existing client base.

Additionally, ViaWest significantly increased its footprint in Utah by adding 25K gross sq. ft. of data center space through existing facility expansion and the addition of a new data center in the second quarter of this year. The company also expanded its Oregon facility by more than 50 percent.
