"Emeryville boasts an impressive roster of companies, many of which require flexible, reliable data support," said Chris Dolan, 365 Main CEO.

These companies will have the advantage of local service from a provider with nationwide capabilities.

"Our customers have the added benefit of being part of a large, nationwide platform of data centers that is continuing to expand domestically," added Dolan. "This affords them the opportunity to easily expand to multiple markets, be in close proximity to their data and improve latency."

According to Patrick Rigney, Evocative founder, "Operational excellence and personalized service have been hallmarks of Evocative's business, making us a perfect fit to join 365 Main's portfolio, and our customers will continue to benefit from their like-minded approach. The entire Bay Area market has just gained, by this acquisition, a top-ranked market operator in the retail colocation space, with the operational and customer service standards and experience sought by established enterprises and aggressive start-ups alike."

The data center is located in the heart of Emeryville's technology community and offers a secured site with complete redundancy in its power and cooling infrastructure. It is well connected with several carriers including AT&T, CenturyLink, Paxio, Verizon and Zayo.
