COLLECTIVE TEAMS WITH BRUNS-PAK TO OFFER END-TO-END DATA CENTER SOLUTION

Partnership Offers Companies Full Range of Data Center Services - from Evaluation, Planning and Design to Construction, Relocation and Consolidation

Data Center World, Atlanta, Georgia, March 21, 2006 - Collective Technologies and BRUNS-PAK today announced a partnership that brings these leading providers of IT infrastructure and physical infrastructure services together to offer the industry's first end-to-end data center solution. With the combined solution, companies can take advantage of the full spectrum of data center services that give them the options and flexibility necessary to build, expand or move facilities to optimize their technology investments.

The size and complexity of corporate data centers have increased dramatically over the past few years. Consolidations, mergers and acquisitions, new high-density equipment, and stricter regulations continue to drive significant changes in data center requirements. Plus, widespread innovation is making data center technology obsolete at an increasingly rapid pace. Planning, design, consolidation, relocation, and construction activities are no longer periodic milestones but have become ongoing disciplines involving the close marriage of corporate facility teams, IT departments, and the business owners they support.

In a separate March 21, 2006 press release, Collective announced the availability of its Data Center Lifecycle Management Solution. This set of proven, process-oriented services simplifies the management of complex IT environments and enables companies to expand, operate and evolve their data centers in a flexible, cost-effective manner. Services include data center analysis and planning, move execution, and ongoing evaluation.

BRUNS-PAK offers a full range of data center design, construction and commission services in a modular approach. This enables companies to commit only the capital necessary for the short term and grow their facilities as their IT infrastructure needs expand.

By partnering with BRUNS-PAK, Collective is able to offer the design, build and commission services as key components of the end-to-end solution. As partners, Collective and BRUNS-PAK are authorized to sell each other's services to prospective and existing customers. At joint engagements, the companies will coordinate efforts in a seamless manner that presents a consistent experience for clients.

"With Collective's expertise in all areas of data center IT infrastructure relocation and operations, and our extensive background in designing and building facilities, this partnership is a great fit for both companies," said Mark Evanko, president and principal engineer of BRUNS-PAK. "Working together will allow us to expand our sales opportunities and provide customers with a truly comprehensive set of data center services that incorporate IT infrastructure considerations into the facility design process."

"By excelling in design as well as construction of data centers, BRUNS-PAK has distinguished itself as an undisputed leader in the industry. Our Data Center Lifecycle Management Solution wouldn't be complete without their essential capabilities," said Ed Taylor, CEO of Collective Technologies. "As partners, we look forward to working hand-in-hand to help companies expand, upgrade and move their IT facilities to meet their ongoing technology needs."
