BALTIMORE, MD--(Marketwired - September 08, 2016) - AiNET announced it won the Top Minority Owned Business Award by the Baltimore Business Journal for 2016 in recognition as one of the largest MBEs in the region. The list of winners will appear in the 2016 Baltimore Business Journal Book of Lists.

"Baltimore has a vibrant community of minority-owned businesses, and it is extremely exciting to be recognized as both a member and visionary, driving force in that community," says Deepak Jain, CEO and founder of AiNET. "It is a reflection of both our commitment to diversity and equal opportunity, and a testament to our success in the IT services sector."

"In any given year, our workforce diversity represents between 45 - 55% of total employees," Jain states. "We rely on our employees to drive innovation, and value multiple viewpoints and ideas and experiences -- that have enabled us to grow and succeed year after year."

AiNET's One Market Center data center, located near Baltimore's historic Lexington Market, has over 200,000 square feet of data center floor space, spread across 7 floors, and is home to the IT infrastructures of iconic Baltimore organizations such as Excelon and the University of Maryland, as well as global companies like Verizon, Level 3, and Cogent Communications.
