CONGLETON, England, December 8 - Internet resource provider 1st Easy Limited announced today that it has
entered into formal agreement with USA-based CoSentry, a nationally
recognised leader in the Private Cloud Services industry. The agreement
allows both 1st Easy and CoSentry to deliver a Common Solution Service
Platform (CSSP) in their respective UK and USA datacentre locations.

CSSP allows the two companies to jointly deliver Internet technologies
such as private cloud services, hosted application platforms and environments
tuned for Software as a Service (SaaS) provision.

1st Easy's Managing Director, Stephen Bell remarked "Our clients are
looking for more than just a single point of Internet solution delivery. They
increasingly see their commercial online activities expanding onto the global
stage and this agreement enhances our abilities to reach the USA online
market for our clients, the largest natural expansion area for them." Bell
added, "Software vendors are increasingly moving to a hosted application or
SaaS model; from a global perspective, CSSP supports this trend by delivering
their applications from points nearer to their end users."

Cris Freiwald, Vice President of CoSentry Sioux Falls operations also
commented

"Our clients in the USA are increasingly eyeing Europe as a strategic
point of presence and this new relationship with 1st Easy, with their similar
strategy and datacentre resources, allows CoSentry to reach new global
solution levels for its clients." He continued, "Today's SaaS providers
demand a global presence and cannot afford historical performance problems.
This common platform reduces latency by more than half and assures a solid
end-user experience."

The agreement provides for common technologies such as resilient Dell
PowerEdge(TM) servers, EMC Corporation's CLARiiON / MirrorView platform, and
VMware's ESX, to be deployed at the right global service delivery point and
managed from either Network Operation Centre. Connectivity is being deployed
that will also assure consistency of service between facilities with large
bandwidth capabilities across multiple access points.

"The demands of an 'always on' economy require a network of 'always on'
facilities and the associated expertise" commented Mike Steffan, CEO of
CoSentry. He continued "Our alliance with 1st Easy brings another level of
performance to our North American clients and creates a seamless set of
attributes for our European clientele."
