Xodiax Takes Advantage of n + 1's Experience with Linux

Xodiax Internet Data Center and n + 1, Inc., both of Louisville, have 
formed a strategic alliance to provide a broader range of managed 
technology services to small to medium sized businesses. The companies 
have been working closely since February 2001 to provide Linux managed 
services for customers.

Xodiax is a facilities based Internet services company providing highly 
available, fault tolerant, and secure Internet data center services.  
They focus on small to medium market businesses who need the full 
services of a data center without the cost of owning one,   including 
co-location, web hosting, dedicated Internet connections and managed 
services. 

n + 1 is a software/systems engineering consulting firm specializing in 
Linux and Open Source based solutions.  They provide custom software 
development, Linux system administration, and remote administration 
services. Like Xodiax, n + 1 focuses on small to medium sized businesses. 
 They are headquartered at 3415 Bardstown Road.

Brian Schenkenfelder, President of n + 1, commented on the partnership 
saying, " Our entire focus as n + 1 is on providing customers with a 
competitive advantage and allowing them to focus on their core business, 
not their IT needs. The use of the Linux platform and many Open Source 
software applications facilitates this goal by reducing total cost of 
ownership, yet increasing reliability.  Combined with Xodiax's 
state-of-the-art facilities and experience in Internet services, the 
result is a truly powerful Linux managed services solution."

"We've found n + 1 to be the leader in Linux consulting in this area. 
Their expertise in Open Source technologies is unsurpassed and we are 
delighted to partner with them in delivering mission-critical managed 
services to our clients," said Jim Clishem, President and CEO of Xodiax.
