Collocation Solutions LLC, a leading provider of managed network services, and customized data center infrastructure, has announced the official change of the company name to Dataside.

The company began steps toward this transition when Collocation Solutions acquired COMDEPOT, a communications company offering network technology services via its innovative ‘Virtual Core’ architecture. Collocation Solutions had already developed a well known reputation as one of the best high-performance providers of secure and cost effective solutions for collocation. This acquisition has enabled the company to become a single source for businesses to meet all their needs for collocation, connectivity, WAN management, and network security.

As Dataside, this greater flexibility will allow the combined company to aggressively approach a much larger market segment, expanding the overall services available to their growing clientele. Dataside will deliver the best multi-carrier connectivity, and secure network technology coupled with customized build-to-suit enterprise data center space.

The new company name will involve a complete shift in all of its identification and branding. CEO Jim deVenny enthusiastically greets this change, “I am very pleased to usher in this new era for the company. When we acquired COMDEPOT we felt there was an identity problem with both company brands, as neither one could encompass the scope of what we really can offer to our clients.” Jim continued, “Our intent with the move to Dataside is to evoke the correct perception for all our prospective customers, and deliver that singular prominent identity we felt was needed. This new brand offers innovative and complete business solutions to companies of all sizes.”

The premium services now available via the ‘Virtual Core’ include: managed broadband Internet access, network security - including IDP, firewall, IPSec, as well as WAN connectivity and management for private line, frame relay, MPLS (IPVPN), and IPSec VPN. This provides customers with a specific customized answer to their business needs in one single, managed, reliable, and scaleable solution.

Final approval for the .xxx domain has been put on hold after it was taken off the agenda at the ICANN meetings currently being held in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The .xxx domain would create an exclusive space for sites displaying adult content. Final negotiations were expected to conclude at this round of ICANN meetings.

Reports say the decision was delayed because ICANN and other government organizations wanted to continue discussing the merits of operating a .xxx domain. ICANN chairman Vint Cerf made the unexpected announcement.

The .xxx domain faces considerable opposition from conservative groups in the US while supporters argue the domain would make it easier to organize adult material on the Internet.

Approval for the .xxx domain was also delayed back in September.
