Pegasus Web Technologies, (www.pwebtech.com), DedicatedNow, (www.dedicatednow.com) a leading web-hosting company located in Parsippany, New Jersey, is proud to finally announce its much anticipated launch of our new fully owned datacenter in Clifton, NJ. In the works for more than a year of planning, coordinating, building and testing, the facility is now live and operational. The new datacenter will incorporate all existing servers to be moved from our current datacenter, to this new facility, followed by sales resuming in the middle of July 2004. Due to our past capacity issues, our new facility boasts enormous growth potential allowing us capabilities of up to 55,000 sq ft of pure datacenter floor space, and ease of access to backbone providers. Currently, the facility incorporates over 7,500 sq ft of completed raised floor data center space, along with 4,500 sq ft of corporate office space which includes a front reception area, conference rooms, and ample space for our employees. The new datacenter has been carefully planned from inception to overcompensate for such factors as cooling, generators, UPSs, backup generators, fire suppression, and much, much more. Our new facility has been set in place with 7,500 sq ft of raised flooring, 10 (ten) 20 ton AC units, CCTV system, Biometric Security system, double pre-action fire suppression system, MCI OC48 Full Sonnet Ring, with Dual OC192s being installed now. We have chosen MCI and Above.net for our backbone providers, and are adding Level3 and Global Crossing in the near future.

The specific date of the scheduled move is Sunday, July 11th at 12:00am eastern-standard time. The move will be done as late as possible, during which time, the network will be rerouted to our Clifton facility, and 30-40 movers will assist with the transition of the servers from our NAC facility to the new Clifton facility along with our in-house administrative team. Teams will be assisting with removal of the servers, packing, transporting, unpacking and reconnecting service. Other team members will be online and available to answer questions over our off-network support site, which will be provided to our customers shortly to discuss the DC move. The estimated downtime will approximately be four to six hours.

While the facility has undergone strenuous testing, there is always the chance of small hurdles along the way, however, most if not all have already been compensated for at this time. This move we feel is in the best interest of our organization and customers, to provide overall better, faster, and more stable control over our facilities and continue the growth and dedication that you have come to expect.

Last, but certainly not least, Pegasus Web Technologies is changing its name to Fortress Integrated Technologies (FORTRESS ITX) www.fortressitx.com. With the induction of the new facility we are adapting our business to reinforce our new datacenter and incorporate the brand recognition to the public.

We feel that the new name will better suite the services we are offering and support the brand of web-hosting we have worked extremely hard over the last year and a half to develop.

We appreciate all the continued support from our clients and the community and look forward to providing you with exceptional products and services for many years to come.

Thank you,
