Los Angeles, California - (The Hosting News) - February 29, 2008 - HostMySite.com web hosting provider for small and medium-sized businesses, attended and sponsored the recent launch of Windows Server 2008, at the the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.

Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, and Tom Brokaw, of the NBC Nightly News, addressed a capacity crowd estimated at nearly 7,000 attendees at the Partner Pavilion, with an unknown number of people included in an overflow crowd. The Los Angeles event was the kickoff of over 200 worldwide events celebrating the launch of Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008. In addition to the keynote address, the launch event featured Breakout Sessions, Hands On Labs, Microsoft and Partner Pavilions, Chalk Talks, and Ask the Experts.

Attendees experienced an overall presentation that included 3 dimensional powerpoint slides, 6 or more video cameras, wall projections, along with a steady cam, throughout the event. The preliminaries were conducted by longtime anchor and managing editor of the NBC Nightly News, Tom Brokaw, who examined the rapid changes in technology over the past few years, and dispensed with personal anecdotes. Mr. Brokaw offered, “The test of our place in this world is not yet complete, after all we don’t want to become Easter Island. What I believe in my heart and in my mind is that it will do us little good to wire the world if we short circuit our consciousness, and our souls - if we shortchange our potential to use this technology to advance mankind.”

Mr. Ballmer, flanked by a teleprompter, video projector, 3-D floating graphics, wireless microphone, steady cam, video clips and on-stage demonstrations, commented, ”For me, the heart of our industry is the software developers, and the I.T. professionals who go out every day and make great things happen.”

Derek Vaughan, Vice President of Marketing at HostMySite.com noted, ”The response from the developer community for these new Microsoft products is absolutely overwhelming.

Waltham, Massachusetts - (The Hosting News) - February 29, 2008 - Web host and integrated data management solutions firm, Phase Forward Incorporated, has entered into a lease agreement, in order to relocate to the first speculative green building in the Boston suburbs, at 77 CityPoint in Waltham, Massachusetts.

Awarded with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver Precertification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the nation’s leading evaluator for green buildings, 77 CityPoint is the first phase of Boston Properties’ $500 million planned urban center, currently under construction in Waltham at Exit 27 on Interstate 95.

Patrick Cloney, Executive Director, Massachusetts Office of Business Development noted, ”hase Forward is an important success story in the local life sciences market. We congratulate Phase Forward on the new headquarters and welcome the expected job creation in this critical sector. The pending life sciences initiative will make it even more appealing for Phase Forward and innovative firms like it to do business in Massachusetts.”

Phase Forward plans to move from its current location at 880 Winter Street in Waltham to 77 CityPoint in the fourth quarter of 2008. At the new location, the company will lease more than 165,000 square feet, representing the remaining space in the project. Phase Forward was represented in this transaction by the real estate team of DTZ FHO Partners and the legal representation of Goodwin Procter LLP.

Since moving to its current headquarters in late 2003, Phase Forward’s revenues have more than doubled and its worldwide employee base has grown by more than 45 percent. This success, coupled with anticipated future employee growth, has driven Phase Forward’s requirement for more office space. At the end of 2007, Phase Forward employees in the state numbered 313. The new location will be able to house up to approximately 350 additional employees as Phase Forward continues to grow its local employee base over the next four to five years.

Bob Weiler, President and CEO, Phase Forward remarked, ”Our high-caliber workforce has been key to our strong growth, so remaining in the Waltham area was a critical factor in recruiting and retaining employees and minimizing commute times. In addition, employees have given us very positive feedback about our choice to move into an LEED certified green building. We are also excited about what Boston Properties has planned for the rest of CityPoint.”

Douglas Linde, President of Boston Properties added, ”Phase Forward made it very clear from our first meeting that providing their associates with a healthy, vibrant and exciting work environment was critical to their company’s continued success.”

David Provost, Senior Vice President-Leasing for Boston Properties commented, ”We continue to see successful growth companies like Phase Forward utilizing real estate as a strategic tool in recruiting top talent and growing their company.”

LEED standards include items in the following categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resource, and indoor environmental quality. Highlights of 77 CityPoint’s sustainable design include a 30 percent reduction in water usage compared to conventional standards, a waste management plan that incorporates recycling 90 percent of the project’s construction waste, and direct lines of site to the perimeter windows from 95 percent of the occupied space. These features not only conserve resources but also increase indoor air quality and contribute to improved employee health and productivity.
