ITEX Corporation (OTCBB: ITEX), has announced the successful transfer of ITEX information server operations to a new co-location facility in Boise, Idaho, a switch CEO Steven White says affords ITEX better security, storage capacity and protection from natural disasters.

“Our IT department worked non-stop June 23 and 24 to insure our systems were moved to Boise from our hosted facility in Fremont, California,” said ITEX CEO Steven White. “The servers were moved from their former location on Saturday morning and returned to full service with new upgrades late Sunday afternoon. The task was accomplished with minimal inconvenience to our community of 22,000 business members.”

Supported by new Dell PowerEdge Servers and Cisco routers and firewalls, the upgraded systems provide service up to eight times faster than our previous high-speed systems. The new servers and software provide more security for the ITEX community, add data storage capacity for increased product and service offerings, and are expected to be more reliable than the former systems.

ITEX invests in co-location services for the satisfaction and confidence of our members, in anticipation of growth and for scaling potential. We moved our systems to Boise because of the extremely low risk of natural disasters. Our new co-location facility is a top-notch provider with ample bandwidth and backup power. We believe ongoing enhancements to our systems are vital to our ongoing growth initiatives, stated White.

ITEX, The Membership Trading Community, is a thriving community of 22,000 member businesses buying and selling more than $250 million a year in ITEX dollar transactions. ITEX is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington.
