T5 Data Centers Signs Sutherland Asbill & Brennan for Turnkey Colocation Services at T5@Atlanta Facility

Global Law Firm Gains Better Cost Controls with T5 Enterprise Solutions Suite.

Atlanta, GA, USA -- T5 Data Centers™, innovators in providing state-of-the-art, customizable and highly reliable computing support environments, today announced that Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP, an international legal practice, has signed as the latest customer for T5's Enterprise Solutions Suite at the company's T5@Atlanta data center. By licensing colocation and enterprise services from T5 Data Centers, the law firm will be able to take advantage of T5's "Smart-Tech" remote hands support as well as "ColoFlex" metered power services to more closely align costs with consumption.

Sutherland Asbill & Brennan is the latest law firm to sign as a T5 customer, whose secure and resilient enterprise colocation environments are well suited to host the critical data center needs of legal and financial services firms. The combination of enterprise-grade facilities, services and connectivity solutions was compelling enough for Sutherland to relocate its data center from Virginia to T5@Atlanta while positioning them for long-term growth as they provide secure data access to partners and offices around the globe. As part of its move into the T5@Atlanta colocation facility, the firm also plans to take advantage of T5 Facilities Management (T5FM) services, which provides comprehensive data center operations and management to ensure optimal uptime while managing total costs. In addition, T5's Enterprise Solutions Suite includes a consumable infrastructure billing model with metered power and managed bandwidth, so the law firm only pays for services it actually uses.

"Our ColoFlex consumption-based billing model was a key factor in Sutherland's decision to move its data center operations to T5@Atlanta," said Craig McKesson, Executive Vice President of Enterprise Solutions for T5. "As companies continue to move toward hybrid cloud deployments they're looking for a way to better align the cost models of their private environments to those of the public cloud. T5 ColoFlex offers the best of both by providing the added advantages of better data control and security, better reliability as well as cost containment while also enabling our customers to connect to their preferred public cloud environments. We're excited to welcome Sutherland Asbill & Brennan into T5 and expect to see more law firms move away from paper archives and adopt an extensible data repository to simplify data access and strengthen regulatory compliance."

Austin Startup Sells Ethically Made Purses and Yoga Bags to Help Light the World

Esperanza Market is an online store selling purses and yoga bags made by hand in Nicaragua. Each bag is made by a small group of artisans, mostly women, who are paid Fair Trade wages, not just minimum wages. For each bag sold, the company donates a solar-powered light to one of the hundreds of thousands of Nicaraguan children who live without electricity.

Austin, TX, USA (March 16, 2016) -- Austinite Jennifer Simonson has spent all her vacation time during the past 15 years traveling Latin America experiencing both its colorful culture and the poverty that lies underneath.

Wanting to highlight the cultures and help alleviate some to the poverty, Simonson recently launched the Esperanza Market, a social enterprise dedicated to improving the lives of women and children living in Nicaragua's impoverished communities.

The online marketplace sells purses and yoga bags made by hand in Nicaragua. They work directly with artisans, mostly women, to provide them with regular employment and fair wages. For each bag sold the company donates a solar-powered lamp to students in those communities who live in homes without reliable electricity.

"Esperanza means Hope in Spanish. I wanted to create a website that shares all these amazing handmade bags and purses with my friends in the United States and also raise awareness of some of the problems facing our neighbors to the south," she said. "I started in Nicaragua because I know the country very well and because it is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, there is a lot of need for help."

One-third of the Nicaragua's population lives without reliable electricity. Some of the population lives off the electric grid, while others might have access to electricity, but can't afford to use it. Families without energy rely on burning candles, wood or kerosene for light, which can be expensive, flammable and can cause poor air quality.

Esperanza Market distributes solar-powered reading lamps to students in efforts to improve education by providing students with light to read and do homework once the sun goes down. They started with Education Plus Nicaragua, a school in the Pantanal barrio outside of Granada. The neighborhood has 13,000 residents, 8,000 are children. There are no paved roads or running water and electricity is very limited. The children of this area are vulnerable for child prostitution, criminal activity and glue sniffing.

Esperanza Market also has a link for those simply wanting to donate solar-powered lamps to children in Nicaragua. Since its launch in November 2015, the Esperanza Market has donated 100 solar-powered lamps.

Chicago Assault on Civil Rights Backfiring on Protesters, Cruz, and Rubio

Raleigh, NC, USA (March 14, 2016) -- Contact: ALIPAC.us | WilliamG@alipac.us | (866) 703-0864

ALIPAC is predicting that Donald Trump will completely dominate the Tuesday, March 15 Primaries in 5 states due to the public backlash against the violent mob attack on Civil Rights in Chicago where young illegal immigrants, Muslims, and college aged socialists and anarchists proved that America's freedoms of speech and assembly are being overcome by mob rule!

ALIPAC predicts that the aggressive and violent actions of the mob have backfired on their leftist causes and is backfiring on GOP Presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio due to their supportive comments claiming the mob was justified because of the comments and political positions of Donald Trump and his supporter. Large numbers of prior Cruz and Rubio supporters declared they are dropping their support and aligning with Trump in reaction to their statements blaming Trump for the violence.

"Many Americans realize that the successful attack and violation of the civil rights of Trump supporters affects every American who believes we all have the right to assemble and speak freely in our nation. The attack on Donald Trump's rally was an attack on us all, and at this point the only way that Americans can truly defend Civil Rights in America from this threat of mob rule is to rally to and support Donald J. Trump for President!" said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "Rubio and Cruz made a major mistake joining the protesters in blaming Donald Trump for the despicable actions in Chicago. All across social media this weekend, prior supporters are announcing they are dropping Cruz and Rubio and joining Trump and that will be reflected in the vote this Tuesday!"

Breitbart News reported Saturday on the social media shift away from Rubio and Cruz to Trump in their article "Voters Slam Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio for Blaming Chicago Rally Shutdown on Donald Trump" by Katie McHugh. McHugh documents numerous examples of Facebook users declaring, "Cruz you lost my vote for using this protest for your political game. Rubio also. Trump has my vote....I'm a Texan, I voted for you for the senate, and was supporting you for president, up until you blamed Trump for the savage behavior of Hillary and Bernie supporters in Chicago. I just sent a $100.00 contribution to a billionaire, and i'm retired on a fixed income, so guess this is goodbye to you, and I am now firmly on the Trump wagon...Ted Cruz... i was an undecided voter who was leaning your way then you blamed trump for the actions of violent protesters. I am now voting Trump thanks for helping me make my choice tonight." (Click to Read More)

ALIPAC has endorsed Donald Trump as the first Presidential candidate the national organization has ever supported for President since the founding of ALIPAC in 2004.

Voters are being warned that the failed DC establishment has two routes to retaining power at this point. The establishment can still win if Hillary Clinton is elected President and Clinton's chances rise each day that the bitter Trump and Cruz conflict continues. The establishment will also regain control the moment this race is forced into a brokered convention which DC insiders will control.

At this time, it is clear that the two illegal alien amnesty backers Marco Rubio and John Kasich are staying in the race only to try to win in Ohio and Florida on Tuesday to deprive Trump of those electoral votes and throw the race into the convention where the DC establishment retakes control.

While Ted Cruz has no chance of passing Trump or winning the popular vote, his strength levels could throw the race to the convention where the DC establishment may crown him as the GOP candidate for President if he agrees to their demands. This will also throw the race to Hillary Clinton.

"GOP primary voters need to remember the story all Americans are taught as children about the little dog that wanted two bones and ended up with none," said William Gheen. "Voters that think they have the luxury of supporting Cruz and thwarting the DC insiders are wrong. A vote for anyone but Trump at this juncture is a vote to help the DC establishment responsible for that mob attack regain control! All their fire is focused on Trump! The fight is on and sometimes in a fight you have to chose a side and that choice is upon you."

Senator Jeff Sessions, who is the top Republican fighting against illegal immigration, Obama, and amnesty in the US Senate is similarly calling for Unity around Trump! Breitbart's Julia Hahn reports, "Jeff Sessions to GOP: Time to Unite Behind Trump, Beat Hillary."
