NEW YORK, Nov. 19, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Globix Corporation (OTCBB:GBXX), a leading provider of managed Internet applications and data center infrastructure services, today announced it had established a reciprocal sales and marketing partnership with the Four Star Group, a marketing consulting firm that combines public sector business opportunities with leading solutions developed in the private sector.
The agreement provides for both companies to collaborate on opportunities in various Federal Government agencies. By partnering with Four Star Group, and their GSA-certified partners, Globix will be able to more rapidly participate in Federal Government contracts. In return, Four Star Group will rely on Globix's technology, services, infrastructure and expertise as it fulfills the expanding technology and security needs of the US Federal Government.

Potter Jr., Four Star Group's Director, Government Sector. "Globix provides leading-edge technology solutions and infrastructure that can and should be a core component of the Federal Government and our nation's ongoing security efforts."
"This partnership with Four Star Group is the centerpiece of our initiative to penetrate the Federal Government sector," said Pete Stevenson, Globix's CEO. "Whether we are asked to stream live subcommittee meetings from the House of Representatives, or host and manage servers and applications for the Department of Homeland Security, Globix will provide the technology, infrastructure and the expertise to assist the Federal Government.
As part of the agreement, Globix has established an office with support personnel in the Washington DC area. These resources will provide local support for Four Star Group and its partners as it bids on and wins contracts with various Federal agencies.
