Inflow's Portland Data Center Celebrates First Year Success.

Business Editors

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2001

Continues to Provide World-class Customer Service and Internet

Uptime To More Than 30 Customers

InFlow, Inc., a leading provider of facility-based IT outsourcing solutions and Internet Data Centers (IDCs), announced today a year of uninterrupted performance in its Portland market with continuous increases in monthly revenue.

Additionally, Inflow recently added two Portland-based customers to its roster of clients - Flowerbud and WellMed, Inc.

"Local presence, first-class customer service and around-the-clock support continue to be the driving forces behind the success of our Portland IDC," said John Miailovich, Inflow's district sales manager in Portland. "Inflow's financial stability and reputation for satisfying customers' immediate needs has been a result of the continued support we've provided our growing base of customers."

As a provider of fresh-cut flowers that are shipped to customers within 24 hours, Flowerbud was plagued with website downtime and the inability to expand with growth. By selecting Inflow, the company found a team that understood the demand for 100 percent uptime and could provide local IT support to help manage its firewall, monitor applications and ensure the website was available to customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

"Inflow has provided me peace of mind that our site is continuously up and running smoothly, which allows me to focus on the business of selling flowers," said Mark Hayes, Flowerbud's CEO. "We did an enormous amount of due diligence before teaming with Inflow, and not only has it lived up to what it promised to provide, but the necessary migration to work with the company was flawless."

WellMed seeks to provide the most secure and reliable Web-based solutions to its clients and looked to Inflow to strengthen its geographically redundant implementation. WellMed has two sites running simultaneously to protect from down time due to an outage in a particular area of the United States. To add another layer of protection, WellMed selected Inflow as its second vendor.

"We preferred working with a local network operations facility and were pleased with Inflow's reputation in the industry," said Perry Underdown, Director of Information Technology for WellMed. "Ensuring our clients that their members and employees always have access to personal health information is important to WellMed's success in the health care market."

Inflow's state-of-the-art InflowNet(TM) service guarantees local companies 100 percent Internet availability. Additionally, Inflow's suite of managed services includes load balancing, content distribution, application and equipment infrastructure management, managed firewall solutions and data storage.

The Portland IDC was fully operational in November 2000. The IDC's technical staff holds certifications through Cisco, Microsoft and CheckPoint and is on site for round-the-clock customer assistance.
