Atlanta, Georgia --- May 16, 2005 --- NationalNet, Inc announced today that they will be moving into their new offices in Downtown Atlanta this week. The 22,000 square foot office will house the entire staff and allow Administration and Technical Operations to work under the same roof for the first time since 2000. The office consumes the entire 10th floor of the 22 story high rise building located at 55 Marietta Street in the heart of downtown Atlanta. This office is in addition to the 12,000 square foot Data Center that NatNet acquired in the fourth quarter of 2004 and began occupying in early 2005.
"We are very excited to be moving into our new offices" said Bill VanVorst, Executive Vice President of NationalNet. "Currently all of our Accounting, Legal, Administrative and Management functions are based in our Jonesboro, Georgia office and only our System Administration, Network Administration and Programming staff are based within the Data Center offices. I feel this move will tremendously increase our productivity due to the close proximity of the different departments."
The new offices include a state-of-the-art Network Operations Center that will house the System Administrators and Network Engineers. It includes a complete video wall, full of 48" Screens that will be used to monitor the network uptime and server performance from a graphical interface. Connected by a 25 foot plate glass window will be a War Room/Conference Room that will serve as a Command Center similar to the Situation Room of the White House. This room allows Senior Staff to assemble employees, vendors, or outside support personnel to resolve any event without disrupting the System Administrators in their day-to-day tasks. Additionally, there is a full conference room, extremely modern break room, dozens of offices including an executive suite for company executives and their assistants.
"In the early days of NatNet we were all in the same offices and our servers were not even in the same city", said Tony Morgan, President of NationalNet. "In 2000 we purchased our own Data Center but the office portion was too small to house everyone so we split up the operations. Since then we have outgrown three Data Centers and our Administrative offices. The new 12,000 square foot data center took care of the Data Center growth for the foreseeable future and our new offices will handle our personnel growth for a number of years to come".
The offices will be moved on Thursday and Friday of this week. The move will be completely transparent to all NatNet clients. Any client, prospective client, vendor, or friend who is interested is invited to tour either new facility by contacting any staff member of NationalNet.
