NEW YORK, NEW YORK, June 14, 1999 – Globix Corporation
(NASDAQ: GBIX), a leading provider of Internet connectivity and
sophisticated Internet-based solutions for large and medium size businesses,
announced the opening of its worldwide headquarters and state-of-the-art

Located at 139 Centre Street, in the heart of Silicon Alley, the

The 24,000 square foot raised-floor Internet Data Center (IDC) is a state-of-the-art
facility with redundant electrical distribution and precision environmental
controls units, a main and reserve FM-200 fire-suppression system, a 24

from multiple telecommunications carriers with diverse fiber entries into
the structure. The new IDC features Cisco Systems equipment with n+1 redundancy
from the core to the edge.
12,000 square feet of the new facility is dedicated to the support of
the Internet Data Center which houses multiple Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS) systems and is backed up by redundant emergency diesel generators.
The Company’s New York Internet Data Center will take advantage of
the fault-tolerant, fiber-based Globix network and use it to
provide business customers with high-speed connections to the Internet.
Running in a ring topology around the United States, the network will
connect the New York facility to the Globix Internet Data Center
in Santa Clara, CA and to public and private peering points around
the country.
