Selects Phoenix NAP's Ultra-Modern Facility for Colocation
                    and Cloud Hosting Services

HOUSTON, May 7, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Aldridge Company
(www.aldridge.com), a leading provider, consultant and integrator of
Information Technology and Cloud Computing solutions for SMBs, today
announced it has geographically diversified its data center portfolio
to ensure stability in the event of a natural disaster. With a majority
of its clients located in the hurricane-prone Houston area, The
Aldridge Company has selected Phoenix NAP in Phoenix, Ariz., one of the
safest-from-natural-disaster cities in the U.S., for colocation and
cloud hosting needs.

Although hurricane season has been mild since Hurricane Ike, data from
the past 60 years shows the Texas coast is hit by an average of three
hurricanes and two tropical storms each decade. The resulting floods
and prolonged power interruptions can be crippling for businesses of
all sizes, which have grown increasingly reliant on IT systems for
financial data, employee information, customer databases, data on
projects in progress, and sales and distribution information.

"We are adding data center services in Phoenix because our customers
and prospective customers depend on uninterrupted access to their
data," said Chief Operating Officer, Patrick R. Wiley. "We take these
responsibilities seriously and this diversification ensures
Houston-area businesses have cost effective access to a secure
environment with resilient power and cooling systems and a high level
of physical security to make sure customers' IT infrastructure is
running 24x7."

The Aldridge Company offers a range of hosting services, including
dedicated servers, colocation and cloud hosting, which provide constant
and current data availability, security and stability, thus giving
customers peace-of-mind and allowing them to focus on their business.
The Aldridge Company's IT solutions include complete management of
servers, PCs and networks coupled with rapid and accurate technical
support. They also provide audits of security and disaster recovery
readiness.

Phoenix NAP is a PCI DSS Validated Services Provider and a SOC Type 2
audited facility. The modern facility features backup systems that
include redundant generators and 99 percent efficient PureWave(TM)
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units. The central cooling system is
capable of moving 1.6 million cubic feet of air per minute through the
entire 160,000 sq. ft. data center building and it is among the most
redundant the manufacturer has ever designed. The facility also
features security systems that include 24x7 on-site guards, encrypted
badges, PIN entry pads, and iris and vascular scanners.
