Global Channel Success Contributes to Surpassing Financial
and Business Goals for 2007


    DENVER, Nov. 15 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Virtela, the
global network solutions company, today announced the
company has achieved quadruple revenue growth in the Asia
Pacific region, which has contributed to achieving several
significant company milestones ahead of business plan. 

    Virtela's channel sales organization added a number of
strategic new partners since the beginning of the year,
helping to triple monthly recurring revenues from new
orders in Asia as well as double them in Europe --
altogether fueling a 23% increase in overall channel
revenues. 

    "With Virtela's ability to offer secure, turn-key
global managed solutions for system integrators and service
providers with zero capex investment, we added four new
strategic channel partners in Asia alone," said Ronald
Brouwers, Virtela's vice president for Asia Pacific, based
in the company's regional headquarters in Singapore.
"As Asian enterprises rapidly expand their global
requirements, we've seen the north Asian market enjoying
the highest growth. We serve some of the region's largest
multinationals through our channel partners, and we expect
to see continued strong growth building on those strong
relationships."

    Virtela's channel sales momentum helped contribute to
the privately-held company's record results since the
beginning of the calendar year, most notably becoming cash
flow positive from recurring operations for the last three
quarters. This major financial milestone is in addition to
reaching five consecutive quarters of profitability. 

    "We've had unprecedented success this year in
attracting large carriers and systems integrators wanting
to easily and quickly fill gaps in their geographical reach
and service portfolios," added John Powell, vice
president of global channels. "As a result, we're well
on our way to achieving yet another record-setting year for
new business orders."

communications carriers and other service providers to
leverage Virtela as their global delivery arm for
integrated business solutions comprised of network,
security and IT infrastructure services. Partners can
