From the S-1:
We are the leading data storage services provider. We are building the first global data storage network, allowing our customers to connect their computer systems, or ``plug in', to our network to store and access their data in much the same way they obtain and use electricity or telephone service. We believe that our data storage utility model provides our customers increased availability, security, functionality and control over their data, at a price they could not replicate internally. We are building and expanding a dedicated fiber optic network which connects our Storage Point of Presence, or S-POP, data centers in major metropolitan areas. Each S-POP data center is a storage facility containing disk and tape storage systems. Our metropolitan storage networks are connected to each other and to a central monitoring and control center through long distance fiber optic connections. This combination of long distance fiber networks and metropolitan storage networks creates our Global Data Storage Network, which we call our GDSN.
Our Global Data Storage Network currently includes over 20 S-POP data centers in 11 metropolitan areas in the United States and one in London. We expect to have more than 50 S-POP data centers in operation in the United States and selected international locations by the end of 2000. The majority of our S-POP data centers are located at web hosting facilities operated by companies such as AT&T Web Hosting Services, Exodus Communications, GlobalCenter and Level 3 Communications. We are focused exclusively on storage, and more than 150 of our approximately 350 employees are storage experts who assist businesses in designing and implementing their data storage strategies. Our customers include established enterprises and Internet-based businesses that require large volumes of data storage capacity in a wide range of industries, including financial services, communications, energy and natural resources, health and education.
