NEW YORK, NEW YORK, November 16, 1998 – Globix Corporation (NASDAQ: GBIX),a leading Internet Service Provider, is pleased to announce that the Company has signed new Internet contracts in excess of $5 million since September 1, 1998. The new business contracts, which have an average life of at least two years, represent a range of Globix Corporation’s Internet services, including Dedicated Access, Co-location and Web-hosting. The growth in new business reflects the Company’s strategy of offering one-stop solutions and enhancing existing services with new, state-of-the-art facilities in New York, London and San Francisco.
The new Globix building in New York comprises nine floors and 160,000 square feet that includes office space and a SuperPOP data center dedicated to providing state-of-art Internet solutions. The London Globix facility is situated in the heart of the London’s commercial center and will offer 33,500 square feet of space for offices and for a SuperPOP data center which will provide fully redundant, high-capacity solutions. The new Globix San Francisco building is in the heart of Silicon Valley. The 61,000 square foot facility includes a SuperPOP data center, offices, classrooms and seminar space.
The new San Francisco, London and New York Data Centers will be fully operational during the first quarter of 1999.
