New Phoenix NAP blog!

We have recently launched a new Phoenix NAP blog at blog.phoenixnap.com. Give it a look to catch the latest news about the full service data center, or to get some more information on industry-related topics.

The Datacenter Builder blog will remain in place, to focus more on any construction-related activities or expansions.

Updating the Online Property

Website Screenshot

April 22, 2010 – Up until now, most of the posts within this blog have centered around construction activity and related images and video footage. With our grand opening approaching, this will continue for a little while yet, but today we shift focus to another sort of property – a Web property.

Earlier this week, our company Web site received a face lift of sorts. A new design was implemented reflective of a premier datacenter, and additional content was added regarding our facility’s security attributes, the services we offer, industry articles that have featured us, video interviews, and information about our preferred partners.

If you have not yet seen the new site, check out PhoenixNAP.com today. In the meantime, here are a few screen captures of it.
