Exodus expands hosting operations in Australia
With the new IDC in Sydney and existing facility in Melbourne, Exodus is well-positioned to support rising demand for complex Internet hosting and managed services in Australia. Exodus now has approximately 5.2 million square feet of IDC space open worldwide, and plans to increase capacity to approximately 6.7 million square feet of space open worldwide by year end.
"Companies in Asia Pacific have embraced hosting, and as their Internet operations become increasingly complex, we are expanding our IDC network to provide the expertise and robust, scalable services that can support the incredible growth anticipated in the region," said Ellen M. Hancock, chairman and CEO of Exodus. "Exodus continues to enhance its leadership in the Web hosting market by combining our extensive IDC network worldwide with our growing roster of managed and professional services."
According to a recent report from International Data Corporation, the Asia Pacific Web hosting market is expected to increase from US$239 million in 1999 to US$4.5 billion by 2004. International Data Corporation also reported in an April 2000 bulletin that Exodus is the top U.S.-based hosting service provider, leading the industry in Web hosting market share.
