BorderCOMM Joins Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s Dallas Meet Me Room Expansion

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Realty Trust, Inc. , the leading owner and manager of corporate data centers and Internet gateways, has completed a lease agreement with BorderCOMM L.P. (http://www.bordercomm.com/) that will enable the communications provider to join Digital Realty Trust's Meet Me Room expansion in Dallas. Through this agreement, BorderCOMM, a pioneer of cross-border communications between the United States and Mexico, will establish a presence in the recently completed Meet Me Room expansion at 2323 Bryan Street and cross-connect its network with tenants whose networks reach throughout the southwestern United States, Mexico and Latin America. The Meet Me Room expansion at 2323 Bryan Street, which was built as Digital Realty Trust's first Dallas Meet Me Room approached full capacity, provides state-of-the-art facilities to meet the robust demand for network cross-connection facilities in the Dallas market.

Meet Me Rooms are facilities that allow telecom carriers and network service providers to cost-effectively cross connect their networks to support the buying, selling and sharing of bandwidth. Digital Realty Trust offers telecommunications carriers and network ISPs advanced Meet Me Room facilities through its portfolio of Internet Gateway Facilities, providing tenants connectivity to other carriers and colocation customers with no cross connection fees. Digital Realty Trust's Meet Me Rooms are located in its Internet Gateway facilities in metro areas such as San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Santa Clara, Miami, Charlotte and northern New Jersey.

"We are currently located in many of the most important communication centers in North America. Our presence in 2323 Bryan Street is a key peering point for our own growing network. Dallas is the most important communication hub for the Southwest United States and Northern Mexico, and the Meet Me Room at 2323 Bryan is the place to be in Dallas," said Thomas J. Spackman, Chairman and CEO of BorderCOMM.

"Our Meet Me Room expansion in Dallas makes it possible for more companies with operations in the Southwest to take advantage of our unique Meet Me Room amenities, such as no-cost cross connections. Digital Realty Trust Meet Me Rooms have particularly significant strategic value for companies like BorderCOMM with international operations because so many of our Internet Gateways serve as primary telecommunications hubs for large regions of North America and Europe," said Michael F. Foust, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Realty Trust. "2323 Bryan Street is the premier hub for the Southwest, and that provides our Meet Me Room tenants in Dallas with the opportunity to establish cross-connections with the widest possible array of carriers and network providers."
