DFT Strengths

We believe we distinguish ourselves from other data center providers through the following competitive strengths:

• Data centers with high power capacity and long useful lives
  Our four stabilized data centers and our newest data centers under development each will have sufficient critical load to serve the world's largest technology companies and are specially designed to have long useful lives, with core power and cooling infrastructure based on stable technology that is not tenant specific and therefore is less likely to become obsolete.
  
  
• Strategically located data centers
  Our operating and planned development properties are strategically located in four premium markets, including Northern Virginia, Piscataway, New Jersey near New York City, Elk Grove, Illinois in suburban Chicago and Santa Clara, California in Silicon Valley, each of which are located near sources of relatively inexpensive power, major population centers and significant fiber optic networks.
  
  
• Strong development pipeline and track record
  In addition to the 36.4 MW planned for CH1, our development pipeline includes six new data centers comprising in the aggregate 187.2 MW of critical load. We believe that our in-house development expertise, including our key technical managers, as well as our extensive network of relationships with key providers who are experienced in the construction of data centers gives us a significant advantage over those of our competitors who must rely exclusively on third parties to develop and maintain their properties.
  
  
• Industry-leading tenants with strong credit
  Our tenant base consists primarily of leading national and international technology companies, such as Microsoft and Yahoo!.
  
  
• Long-term, triple net leases with annual rent increases
  We lease our space through long-term, triple net leases under which our tenants are to reimburse us for actual property-level operating expenses.
  
  
• Seasoned management team with data center and public company experience
  Our senior managers, including Messrs. du Pont and Fateh and our Chief Financial Officer, Steven G. Osgood, have an average of 15 years of experience in the commercial real estate industry and, in the case of Messrs. du Pont and Fateh, a significant portion of this experience is in the data center business. In addition, Mr. Osgood has substantial public company experience serving as President and Chief Financial Officer of U-Store-It Trust from the company's initial public offering in October 2004 through April 2006 and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Global Signal, Inc. from April 2006 until its sale to Crown Castle International Corp. in January 2007.
