A note from Eric Shepcaro, CEO & Chairman of the Board

Dear Telx Customers & Partners,

Greetings and Happy New Year! As the CEO of Telx I look back on 2009 with much pride on what we have achieved and I look into 2010 excited about the future.


First, I have to say thank you for a fantastic year. Because of you, Telx expanded in our existing facilities in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, San Francisco and Phoenix and we opened our newest facility in Clifton, New Jersey. While our strategic focus will always remain interconnection and the ability to support your network centric applications, Clifton demonstrates our ability to support all of your growing IT infrastructure. We also announced a new and strategic partnership with TATA which will provide many benefits to you, through the additional capabilities and global go-to-market solutions now available through this alliance. In addition, we expanded our portfolio of products adding our Video Exchange and Financial Business Exchange products and services. So thank you for a great year.


As I look ahead to 2010 I am excited to think about what we have planned. New applications like video and cloud computing continue to drive more opportunities for us to work together and for Telx to offer you beneficial interconnection and colocation solutions for you to run and manage your businesses. In addition, I received your feedback from our annual Customer Satisfaction Survey. Those results have helped focus our priorities for 2010. For example, you told us in specific facilities you wanted more power and cooling. In December we announced a major upgrade in Atlanta as a direct result of your feedback and have plans for others. Your feedback is invaluable to our business and we will continue to work hard to earn your business every day. Please contact me with any questions, suggestions or concerns you may have or via our facebook or twitter pages.

In closing, I hope you had the happiest of holiday seasons and the chance to step back from our hectic and busy business lives and enjoy family and friends. Happy 2010 and on behalf of myself and our entire Telx team, we look forward to another great year together.



Sincerely,

Eric Shepcaro

Telx Gives Back

Many of us are very fortunate, so this holiday season Telx decided to give something back to the community and help those in need. Each Telx location participated in a volunteer event within their community. The Northeast region put smiles on many faces by having Telx's Controller Peter Giammarinaro dress up as Santa and distribute gifts of over 300 children, while the rest of the Telx volunteers helped the Brownsville Family Day Care Center in Brooklyn NY with their Holiday Party. See some pictures from our day below:


Telx had a great time with the folks at the Brownsville Family Daycare and met many terrific and grateful children.
