Wins £2.7m contract to supply IBM technology to state-of-the-art data centre



Xploite plc ("Xploite", "the Group", AIM:XPT) the operator and aggregator of
strategic and high-growth IT services businesses, announces that Anix, its
managed services and storage subsidiary, has secured a £2.7m contract to supply
IBM technology as part of a £30m roll out of a new data storage facility in
Southampton.

As part of the agreement, Xploite will supply the centre with innovative "pod"
storage technology from IBM. Each pod is a self-contained data centre with up to
40 racks. The overall facility has the capacity for 1,800 racks and will be
built out on an as-required basis. Given the current high demand for data centre
space, the rollout is expected to take as little as three years.

Ian Smith, Xploite Chief Executive, commented,

"This is an ideal arrangement for Xploite.  Whilst the centre will be able to
leverage our Tier 1 relationship with IBM, Anix gains direct access to the
development's state-of-the-art facilities. The managed services arm of Anix is
expected to grow 40% organically this year, and this contract ensures we'll be
able to meet our customers' growing needs with ease."
