ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - November 6, 2008) - King & Spalding, a leading international law
firm, announced today that it has won Executive Alliance's first annual
Project of the Year National Award for 2008, in the infrastructure
management category. The firm was selected for this award for its data
center consolidation project, through which King & Spalding employed
innovative new network and storage technologies to successfully reduce the
number of its U.S. office data centers by 60 percent, while providing more
efficient and cost-effective information technology as the firm continued
to expand with the addition of eight new offices since January 2007.
The Project of the Year Awards honor data center executives and project
teams from across the United States for their outstanding achievement,
leadership, innovation and contributions in the data center.
"We are honored to be recognized by Executive Alliance for leadership in

superior service, and I am very gratified by our technology team's efforts
