History
In 2011, after helping several of our existing FairWinds Partners clients achieve their IP address business continuity goals, we rebranded the “Internet numbers” side of our business separately from the “Internet names” business as Kalorama Group.
Kalorama, which means “beautiful view” in Greek, is named after the historic neighborhood in Washington, D.C.
Multiple U.S. presidents, such as Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Barack Obama, have called Kalorama home at some point in their lives and many embassies, including the Embassies of India, Japan and Croatia, are located in this distinctive D.C. neighborhood.
