LOFT has news big news PhotoLoft.com and AboveNet Communications Announce Co-location Agreement for PhotoLoft.com's Digital Imaging Technology CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 1999-- PhotoLoft.com (OTC BB:LOFT - news), a fast-growing digital imaging and e-commerce Web community and AboveNet Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: ABOV - news), the architect of a global one-hop network that brings together high-bandwidth content sites and ISPs in centralized co-location facilities, today announced that all of PhotoLoft.com's state-of-the-art imaging technology will be co-located at AboveNet's facility. PhotoLoft.com (formerly AltaVista Technology, Inc.) has had several recent milestones. It went public March 1. Last month, its Web site became what is believed to be the first digital imaging community to offer advanced viewing and photo-quality printing of images on the Web. The PhotoLoft.com/AboveNet relationship will offer a comprehensive Internet hardware, connectivity and image technology package that includes PhotoLoft.com's network servers being co-located at AboveNet's San Jose Internet Service Exchange(TM)(ISX(TM)). ''Hosting digital images is a very complex technology, requiring the most advanced skills as well as equipment,'' noted PhotoLoft.com CEO Jack Marshall. ''AboveNet has a strong network architecture and the ability to scale quickly to meet our aggressive growth plan. Our community continues to grow rapidly and the increase in bandwidth, coupled with technically advanced equipment allows our customers to store, archive, share and print images even more rapidly than before. PhotoLoft.com members can now enjoy printing and sharing their images with greater ease at a faster pace,'' Marshall continued. AboveNet Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing David Dembitz said the relationship is part of AboveNet's long-term strategic direction to work with industry leaders in need of bandwidth-oriented solutions. ''We are pleased to work with a leading digital imaging community like PhotoLoft.com to speed the delivery of images to the end-user,'' Dembitz said. ''We designed our network to deliver fast, reliable performance. Our relationship with PhotoLoft.com demonstrates our commitment to support new and emerging uses of the Internet.'' What makes the PhotoLoft.com Web site special is that users are not limited by their Web browser's ability to print Internet images at just 72 dots per inch (dpi) - which is much too low for print-quality. PhotoLoft.com allows users to print at the highest resolution of their printer, giving them crisp, clear photograph-quality prints in sizes ranging from 3x5 to 8x10. In addition, you can grab and print individual images on a page. You don't have to print the whole page from the browser. Users can zoom in on, explore and pan images to take full advantage of the image's fine details and resolution using any popular browser and without special plug-ins or client software.
