Cary, North Carolina - February 28, 2006 - Hosted Solutions, the Carolinas' premier data center and web hosting company, today announced a new addition to the company's high profile list of clients. Raleigh-based Optimized Learning Incorporated (OLi), the leading provider of ASP-hosted open source portals and e-learning course management systems to educational institutions, has selected Hosted Solutions as its exclusive managed hosting provider.

Public and private educational institutions across the nation rely on OLi to develop, launch and manage their large-scale e-learning initiatives. OLi provides highly customizable open source applications with a fully managed environment. This model drives dramatic benefits for clients including reduced cost of ownership, reduced strain on IT resources and staff and faster time to launch.
