Local Internet Provider XNet To Show Off New Data Center at Annual Open House
Illinois Tech Industry Mainstay Leaps Forward with Carrier Class Facility

LISLE, IL, Nov 27, 2006 – XNet, the Lisle, IL-based data center and corporate high-speed internet provider, will be hosting their annual Open House on Thursday, December 7, between 4:00 and 8:00pm at their Lisle office, 3080 Ogden Ave, Suite 303. This year’s open house will feature a new attraction —XNet will unveil its new Critical Computing Facility™; a brand new data center featuring carrier class access and reliability combined with hands-on custom support for business customers from XNet’s expert staff.

In addition to the traditional party for customers, XNet founders are hoping to use the open house to bring awareness for one of the only high reliability data centers in the suburbs. "Not enough people know that there is a world-class Network Operations Center right in their backyard with hands-on custom support that far exceeds the high volume providers," said Brian Clark, co-founder and CEO of XNet Information Systems. "This year, we’re giving local business owners and IT executives the opportunity to see what rock solid redundancy means for their business."

Co-founders Arthur Zards and Brian Clark have been hosting the annual open house event since 1995. "Customers talk about our open houses for months afterwards. Since we’ve developed a reputation for throwing a good party, people regularly approach me asking when we’re going to host the next one," said Zards, XNet’s President.

Attractions this year will include a live performance by local jazz band Unaccustomedness, a sushi chef, and a selection of premium beer and fine wine. The company has been providing web hosting, colocation, high-speed internet access, and dialup connections to homes and businesses in Naperville, Lisle, and the surrounding area for the last fourteen years. "Over that time, our passion for rock solid redundancy has built us quite a reputation in the Chicago area." said Zards. "Our clients include companies like Motorola, the Morton Arboretum, Lucent Technologies, and Argonne Labs, plus hundreds of small and medium-sized businesses nationwide."
