UnitedLayer, a San Francisco, Calif.-based colocation and managed infrastructure services firm disclosed in a voluntary earnings announcement that it had experienced an increase in the volume of sales during the second quarter of 2009.

Its sales were 15 percent higher than they were in the prior quarter and its EBITDA was 55 percent higher, the company said in a statement. UnitedLayer explained the high jump in EBITDA by a combination of increased sales and cost reductions it had recently implemented.

The firm operates about 35,000 square feet of data center space in San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles and Ashburn, Va.

UnitedLayer CEO Arman Khalili said in a statement that the company had expanded its engineering, operations, sales and marketing staff and planned to continue hiring throughout 2009 to take advantage of the talent currently available in the job market.
