OVERLAND PARK, Kan.,

Realty Trust (NYSE: QTS), a leading provider of secure, compliant
data center solutions and fully managed services, today announced
it has been named one of two data center outsourcing providers for
U.S.-based clients of global IT services leader CSC (NYSE:
CSC).
Under a wide-ranging go-to-market agreement that leverages the
strongest attributes of both companies, QTS will provide custom
data center and colocation to CSC customers via its national
portfolio of data centers. The teaming is part of a larger
strategic plan to optimize CSC's footprint globally and to provide
next-generation data center capabilities that can address short-
and long-term customer needs.
CSC, a global leader in next-generation IT services and
solutions with a market capitalization of $9
billion, serves customers in the public sector, as well as
commercial industries ranging from aerospace to utilities. In
choosing QTS, CSC cited its nationwide footprint and ability to
transform customers' IT infrastructure capacity, delivering
increased performance and higher return on investments.
"As a leading global provider of IT solutions, CSC understands
the nuances of what is required to provide secure, compliant
colocation and custom data center solutions for government
agencies, and sophisticated private sector enterprises," said Tag

high standards are aligned with CSC's needs and honored to be one
of only two CSC data center partners in the U.S.
Our world-class data centers are a great complement to CSC's laser

cloud-enabled systems infrastructure, along with custom data
center, colocation and managed services.
"QTS is a premier provider of colocation and data center
