Next Tier HD Completes Phase I of Midtown Atlanta

On May 23, 2019, the Governor for the State of Georgia joined a delegation from the City of Atlanta, the Georgia Institute of Technology ("Georgia Tech"), Next Tier HD, Portman Holdings and DataBank to cut the ribbon for the Coda project (http://www.codatechsquare.com ). Located within the Technology Square sector of Midtown Atlanta, Coda co-locates big data, super computers and collaborative office space to create a highly curated research environment that is comprised of a 722,000 square foot office tower and a 100,000 square foot high density data center.

While the 22-story office tower developed by Portman Holdings (http://www.portmanholdings.com ) introduces a refreshing twist to the world of collaborative architecture, the data center's advanced, high density design allows Georgia Tech, and enterprise research affiliates, to deploy racks of computers using up to 10X the power of conventional IT configurations. Georgia Tech selected Next Tier HD to develop the data center after a national selection process because of their experience in developing high density.data centers (http://www.nexttierhd.com).

According to Tony Zivalich, Georgia Tech's Executive Director of Real Estate, "The high performance computing center is the backbone of our research initiatives in big data and the associated analytics. We have over 11 research neighborhoods in the complex which includes business analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, cyber, health analytics and energy/sustainability to name a few. We view this as a unique opportunity to create a living lab that not only supports research in these key areas, but research in how a data centers optimizes energy consumption, sustainability and operations in supporting research computing."

Jim Coakley, Senior Managing Partner, "While we have built, bought or renovated over 3 million square feet of mission critical facilities, Coda is the most ingenious of them all. Even before we presented our capabilities, the entire team realized that we would be working with researchers, faculty, staff and students in creating a data center that would unravel the next generation of grand challenges of our time -- smart cities, carbon capture, world hunger, reforestation, or even, finally building George Jetson's flying car."

The challenge was to build the 4-story Coda data center on top of a 5-story parking garage, and partially under the adjoining 22-story office tower, and then find places for generators, chillers, cooling towers, water and fuel storage facilities, meet me rooms, support space and the data labs, all without straying beyond a strict 100,000 square foot air rights box. Coakley notes, "This was like building a rocket ship in a phone booth, and it required the entire development team to retool our perspective from square feet to square inches, with each phase passing muster with a room full of the Georgia Tech professionals tasked with supporting this research computing initiative."

Next Tier HD competed for this opportunity in affiliation with the veteran mission critical team noted below and collaborated closely with the Portman Holding's team throughout the process. Midway through the design development process, DataBank Holdings (http://www.databank.com ) stepped in to provide the projected $100 million required to finish all phases of the development. Read here.

Georgia Tech has leased 25% of the data center's critical power capacity, with expansion rights for an equivalent amount of space and power. Next Tier HD and DataBank are marketing space in the data center to companies seeking colocation, cloud, managed services, or hybrid data center solutions. While Next Tier HD developed the data center, DataBank was very involved throughout the process and now owns 100% of the results. DataBank's facilities management staff is actively managing every aspect of the data center's 24/7 operations.

The Company was formed in 2012 by James Coakley, Kevin Reardon and David Spiewak to deploy their firm's experience from banking, finance, development, brokerage, accounting, asset management and IT consulting to unlock hidden real estate value in the ever changing mission critical niche.

KnowBe4’s Year-Over-Year Sales Skyrocket 50% Over Q2 2019 for Another Record-Breaking Quarter

KnowBe4, the provider of the world's largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, today announced a significant year-over-year sales increase surpassing all previous records. In the Second Quarter of 2019, KnowBe4 has reached an impressive 50% over Q2 2018 along with increasing customer accounts to over 26,000.

The 25th consecutive quarter of explosive growth has been driven by an increase in demand for KnowBe4's new-school approach, accompanied by rapidly expanding security awareness training content portfolio. The demand continues to grow globally as KnowBe4 increases its worldwide expansion with the acquisition of CLTRe, cementing its presence as Europe's leading security awareness training and phishing platform. CLTRe helps raise an organization's cultural security awareness from phishing attacks, turning employees into a "human firewall" capable of recognizing cyber threats.

Leading global investment firm KKR also recognized KnowBe4's highly successful approach to security awareness training by making a sizable investment in the company in the second quarter of 2019. KKR's investment, with participation from TenEleven Ventures, elevates KnowBe4's valuation to over $1 billion. The investment from KKR reaffirms the demand for security awareness training as the last line of defense.

"We are extremely proud of achieving our billion-dollar valuation," said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. "Only one percent of the companies who are founded get backed by venture capitalists. And only one percent of those companies earn a billion-dollar valuation. This milestone recognizes the importance of having new-school security awareness training as phishing attacks have increased, along with the consequences of falling victim to CEO fraud, ransomware, and spear phishing attacks."

Other recent and notable milestones and awards for Q2 2019 include:

Sjouwerman continued, "The growth in the European market has led us to the acquisition of CLTRe, which will add another layer of resources to help our customers create a secure organizational culture. We're also planning to expand KnowBe4 into new markets where we see a need for this kind of training, such as Japan, Dubai, and Australia."

United Plastics Launches New Website, Revamps Acoustical Product Line

United Plastics Corporation, Inc.™ recently launched its new website, http://www.unitedplastics.com, showcasing its revamped acoustical product line and a more user-friendly interface that allows visitors to quickly find product and technical information. United Plastics, a plastics extrusion manufacturer, began developing and manufacturing commercial, industrial and residential soundproofing materials more than 10 years ago. Prior to the launch of the new website, the company's two divisions lived separately online.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/proshred-arizona-announces-pilot.html

"We know that if people can't find what they need online quickly, they'll go somewhere else to get it," said John Bishop, acoustical representative and technical support at UPC. "Our goal with this new website was to make it really easy for our customers – new or existing – to find everything they need to successfully complete a project."

UPC's core plastics extrusion business is well established with customers that require customized products. Those customers work directly with UPC engineers and other representatives to complete purchases. The soundproofing side of the business has a more niche customer base that includes architects, distributors, manufacturers/OEMs and contractors. The information those customers require – technical product information, specifications, installation instructions and testing data – is now downloadable from the website.

In addition to making product information more accessible, the dB soundproofing product line was reorganized to help customers easily identify products based on their required application and performance expectations. For example, wall products have a dB3 prefix while all flooring products are designated as dB4. There are also "Lite" and "MAX" versions that provide customers with varying levels of performance. Several new products have also been added to the offering. Read all the latest news.

United Plastics Corporation, Inc., located in Mount Airy, North Carolina, has been a leader in the manufacture of quality plastic products since 1946. Our wide variety of innovative, sustainable plastics are designed for use in the construction, automotive, furniture, and marine and boating industries.

In addition to our manufacturing capabilities, we provide full engineering and design services, tool design and manufacturing services, secondary finishing operations, and custom polymer color and compounding services. We also offer a variety of consumer and commercial acoustic and soundproofing products that are available through regional, national and independent retailers across the United States.

MGA Entertainment's L.O.L. Surprise! Grew 47 Percent in May 2019

According to The NPD Group's May 2019 U.S. Toys Executive Summary, MGA Entertainment's L.O.L. Surprise! grew 47 percent in May 2019 versus the previous year.

The NPD Group Toys Executive Summary is a monthly report that is sent to NPD clients who subscribe to NPD's U.S. Toys Retail Tracking Service. The report includes an industry overview and year-to-date trend.

On June 27, 2019, NPD issued an incorrect executive summary, stating that L.O.L. Surprise! declined 21 percent when, in fact, it increased 47 percent in May 2019 versus the previous year. The correct summary was reissued on June 28, 2019.

"We extend our apologies to MGA Entertainment and others who may have been affected by the incorrect data," said Joanne Hageman, President U.S. Entertainment Sector at The NPD Group. "Although the executive summary is sent only to NPD clients, in the event that the corrected data was not seen by those who saw the original, we want to set the record straight."
