Craig disclosed that bit of insight in the data center sell-off in a conference call Friday with investors and stockholders in the high-tech firm. Aperian's mum about prospective buyers for the data center network, but not about the decision to sell. The game plan had been to set up 12 to 18 centers nationwide, but that's a high-ticket business plan that is now set aside. Aperian, which is merging with California-based Fourthstage, plans to partner with third-party providers for its Web-hosting delivery system.
According to Aperian's Web site, data centers are located at 2020 Live Oak St. in Dallas; 400 N. Tampa St. in Tampa, FL; 56 Marietta St. in Atlanta; and 3300 N. Central in Phoenix. It could be one or it could be several buyers, Craig said in the conference call. "This decision was not made lightly," he had emphasized. But, he added, it is necessary to "achieve capital strength quickly." Craig also said that Aperian is still in the process of determining how much capital per sf can be raised by the disposition.
