RENO, Nev., Jan. 12, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Encompass Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets:ECMH) (www.encompassholdings.com) announced today the official launch of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Quadrant Data Systems Inc.
Quadrant Data Systems Inc. (QDS-I) began operations of its state-of-the-art secure data center in Novato, CA on October 15th, 2009. The company offers traditional data center services including server colocation, managed servers, connectivity, and professional consulting to over 450 International, Fortune 500, and SMB customers. QDS-I is the end result of the restructuring of the original Encompass data center subsidiary purchase in June of 2005.
With an original capital investment in 2001 of nearly twenty million dollars for facility build-out and technical infrastructure, the data center has the robust combination of a mature facility with an experienced staff. The newly formed management team's direction is focused on building a superior value proposition through the strategic deployment of technical assets.
QDS-I's unique ability to offer 20,000 square feet of server space with dual-redundant power, cooling, and connectivity provides a solid platform upon which the company will capitalize on the accelerating demand for "Cloud Computing Resources".
The company plans to launch a comprehensive line of virtual computing products in the first quarter of 2010, that can be activated by end-users through a simple click on QDS-I's proprietary storefront website www.qds-i.com. In this way, sophisticated services such as Microsoft Exchange, Terminal Services, SQL Server, and others can be provided with minimum overhead while still offering the level of security and support that enterprise clients expect. With these initiatives, QDS-I expects to increase revenues by over 25% within the first half of 2010.
At the conclusion of QDS-I's monthly conference call with Encompass management, Scott Webber, CEO of Encompass, commented, "The management team at QDS-I has hit the mark when it comes to Encompass Holdings' prime objective of delivering solid value. I look forward to reporting a significant increase in shareholder value as a result of their efforts."

Encompass Holdings Appoints New COO for Quadrant Data Systems, Inc. Jan 26, 2010 10:30:00 AM 2010 GlobeNewswire, Inc.
RENO, Nev., Jan. 26, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Encompass Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets:ECMH), www.encompassholdings.com, announced today the appointment of Kirk Hurford as the Chief Operating Officer of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Quadrant Data Systems, Inc. www.qds-i.com.
As the founder and CEO of Lucas Valley Technologies, Mr. Hurford has guided the technological direction for over 200 companies and government agencies, including Fujitsu of America, Link TV, the U.S. Navy, and the NSA.
Mr. Hurford is a data security specialist and has consulted on the design and implementation of network security systems for several supercomputing facilities. As the CTO for a Motorola start-up, Mr. Hurford became deeply involved in the birth of wireless communications - most notably the specification of over-the-air data transmission protocols in use by all of the major cellular carriers today.
Mr. Hurford brings a wide array of management skills honed as an executive in several public companies. While President of WordStar Japan, he lead this struggling subsidiary out of a steep financial loss into profitability in just 18 months - reporting a 10% net profit on annual sales. Mr. Hurford then returned to the U.S. to take the post of Vice President of Development for WordStar International.
Mr. Hurford's management career extends back to the early days of the PC era, when he served as the Software Product Line Manager for Heath/Zenith Data Systems, a subsidiary of a fortune 500 company, Zenith Radio Corporation.
Mr. Hurford said of his appointment, "Given the current climate of increasing reliance upon the internet, it is even more critical for businesses to protect their data in a facility like Quadrant. I am especially proud to be able to leverage this critical asset into the Bay Area's premier highly-secure data center."
Scott Webber, CEO of Encompass stated, "Kirk brings over 35 years of broad-based technology management experience and a demonstrated leadership track record to make Quadrant a valuable asset for Encompass shareholders. The data center continues to add new clients to its over 450 current customer base and is on track to meet its revenue goals for 2010. We are especially pleased that Quadrant has the potential for providing additional new jobs even in this weak economy."
