(Sept 11, 2008)-- Ultimate Software, provider of end-to-end strategic human resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, has selected the SAS 70 certified 1Vault Networks for fully secured data backup and server colocation for some of the company's corporate applications and backup systems. Ultimate Software, which serves over 1,600 customers representing more than three million employees, signed a multi-year agreement for customized internet connectivity and colocation backup at 1 Vault's state-of-the-art, Category 5 hurricane-rated data colocation center in Fort Lauderdale.

"1Vault Networks has been a great choice in providing us a safe and convenient location to create a redundant environment for our corporate applications."
