LinkBaton User Preference Engines Co-Located With Globix

NEW YORK - January 7 ,2000 - Openly Informatics today announced that 
it has contracted with Globix Corporation (NASDAQ:GBIX) to provide 
Co-Location for Openly's LinkBaton User Preference Engines 
(LinkBaton.com) at Globix Corporation's Internet Data Center in New

LinkBaton is a service which lets Internet publishers make virtual

first implementation offers hyperlinking to books based on their 
International Standard Book Number (ISBN).

Connected to the Globix redundant, fiber-optic network, the 
state-of-the-art Globix Internet Data Center offers a specially 
designed environment for co-locating and hosting servers.  By housing 
its servers at Globix, Openly will be able to provide LinkBaton 
service quickly, reliably and securely - even during peak business 
hours or under emergency situations, such as power outages.

"LinkBaton will be an enabling technology for Internet libraries and 
a variety of other information services," said Eric Hellman, 
President of Openly Informatics. "Globix offers the bandwidth and 
fault-tolerance we need to provide the maximum availability and 
uptime for our LinkBaton Service."

Marc H. Bell, President and CEO of Globix Corporation said, 
"Companies like Openly can concentrate on providing innovative 
solutions to their customers by outsourcing their Internet 
infrastructure needs to Globix. With our state-of-the-art Internet 
Data Centers online in Santa Clara, CA, London, UK, and New York 
City, Globix is opening up new worlds of opportunity for both small 
and large businesses."
