Switch and Data (NASDAQ: SDXC), a leading provider of network-neutral data center and Internet exchange services, announced today that InfoRelay Online Systems, Inc., an IT solutions and connectivity provider, has expanded its capacity in Switch and Data’s Reston, VA data center. InfoRelay scaled its infrastructure to keep up with demand for its server colocation and managed hosting services. InfoRelay also provides services on a dark fiber ring which interconnects multiple data centers in Washington, DC and the Northern Virginia technology corridor, and expects this expansion will help it reach new customers in the Switch and Data site.

InfoRelay was founded in 1995 to meet the software development, system analysis, secure bandwidth and connectivity solutions needs of small and medium business. InfoRelay operates an 80+ gigabit per second redundant BGP network based on carrier-grade Cisco routers. The company has 10 primary network locations, located within Ashburn and Reston, Virginia, as well as Los Angeles and San Jose, California.

"InfoRelay chose to expand with Switch and Data due to our first-hand experience with the company’s success in delivering great customer service and support in highly secure, reliable sites,” said Russell Weiss, President of InfoRelay. “Switch and Data’s network-neutrality, flexibility in mixing cage and cabinet environments for our customers, and its capacity to support InfoRelay’s projected growth were also critical in our decision.” Weiss also stated that this expansion would allow for InfoRelay to offer more flexible colocation options to its clients, including quarter cabinet and half cabinet colocation services.
