Encompass Holdings, Inc.

(Pink Sheets:ECMH), www.encompassholdings.com, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, 

Quadrant Data Systems, Inc.

www.qds-i.com has selected 

Intelletrace

 as its WAN (Wide Area Network) architect and principal supplier of Internet bandwidth for their newly established data center in Novato CA.

Intelletrace www.intelletrace.com is unique in that they integrate both the engineering talent as well as the vendor management abilities under one roof. Our Quadrant engineers, working with Intelletrace engineers, were able to design, negotiate, and then deploy a fully redundant network architecture utilizing Tier One providers for our primary link and more economic providers for our backup connections without sacrificing performance or reliability.

"Intelletrace's direct participation in the process gave us confidence that the correct decisions were being made. They were able to supplement our planning process with their carrier level expertise. I was very impressed with their ability to adapt to our organization's needs from moment to moment," said Kirk Hurford, COO of Quadrant.

"Quadrant was looking for a partner to provide a single end-to-end solution. Our experienced people and flexible business model allowed us to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Throughout the process we took accountability for an integrated end-to-end solution," observed Dean Zerbe, CTO of Intelletrace.

Joseph Berardi, Quadrant CEO, added, "The task of designing and managing a data center's connections to the Internet requires a wide range of expertise which can then be translated into specifications for the telecommunications vendors, capital expenditures, and internal network accommodations. Intelletrace was able to bring all of these pieces together into a superbly executed solution delivering both performance and excellent value. We are very proud to have them on our team."

"With the new Quadrant data center fully operational, plans to launch a comprehensive line of Virtual Computing Services are now a reality. Quadrant's expansion of its business infrastructure provides strong support for Encompass' overall capitalization efforts and our current negotiations for further funding. We are now perfectly positioned to focus on implementing the Aqua Xtremes, Inc. XBoard and Rotary Engine Technologies, Inc. rotary engine projects," stated Scott Webber, CEO of Encompass.
