PITTSBURGH (Business Wire EON) May 9, 2008 -- This is the second expansion announcement from Expedient in less than 90 days. In February, Expedient also announced its expansion of its Cleveland data center.

In addition, there will be on-site engineers and a Network Operating Center (NOC) to provide premier support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This facility will be included in Expedient's annual SAS70 audit to ensure it meets the commitment of providing premium service and following best practices as with Expedient's other existing data centers.

Expedient President Shawn McGorry said the investment supports the tide of new customers at Expedient that bundle its network access expertise with its solid and reliable data center solutions. "This past year we've experienced a lot of organic growth - our customers are expanding their services and other companies in the area are noticing the differences between us and our competition. Our focus will continue to be providing a high level of service and support to customers."

Vice President of Sales at Expedient, Bryan Smith agreed, "These expansions (in Pittsburgh and in Cleveland) go hand-in-hand with our ability to provide complete hosted solutions to a variety of different kinds of organizations all across the country.
