Terremark Worldwide Provides Unparalleled Internet Services

Most of us think no more about internet connectivity beyond "does it work when I click on it?". For many, phrases like multiplexing, peering, or managed hosting are meaningless. We visit our favorite sites, play our favorite games, and send our emails and IM's around the globe. We buy and sell, attend class, and much more -- just wanting a smooth, safe, and uninterrupted internet experience.

For businesses, governments, educational and medical institutions reliable and secure connectivity isn't only desirable, it's a necessity. Helping to ensure this becomes reality is Terremark Worldwide. Founded in 1980, Terremark today is a global leader in providing the IT infrastructure that brings to us what we know as 'the internet'. Datacenters in the United States, Europe, and Latin America combined with more than 160 global carriers provide the network connectivity critical to not only to businesses or governments, but today's internet users everywhere.

Terremark's flagship facility, NAP of the Americas, is a massive 750,000 square foot building in Miami, Florida. Built in 2001, the six story complex is one of the largest datacenters in the world providing the majority of South America, Central America, and the Caribbean with a link to the rest of the world. Built to withstand a Category 5 hurricane, the construction of this building is nothing short of amazing. Boasting 7-inch thick steel reinforced exterior walls and approximately 19 million pounds of concrete roof ballast combined with state of the art security and an internal power and cooling infrastructure NAP of the Americas is critical to millions of businesses and consumers worldwide.

With 11 similar facilities around the globe in locations such as Bogota, Columbia (NAP de las Américas Colombia), Madrid, Spain (NAP de las Americas Madrid), and São Paulo, Brazil (NAP do Brasil), Terremark provides a comprehensive suite of services that has redefined industry standards.

"We're a global leader in IT infrastructure solutions," explains Xavier Gonzalez, Terremark's Director of Corporate Communications, "but more than that what we do we do at a premium. There are other companies that do a lot of the different things we do but nobody does it the way we do it. We offer a full fleet of services - managed hosting, highly-managed hosting, cloud computing, secure information services, disaster recovery - we run the full gambit, and we do it at a high level."

Proof of that statement lies within Terremarks Federal Group. TFG, as it is known, services governments around the world by providing the security and platforms needed in today's age. NAP of the Capital Region, located 60 miles from Washington D.C., is the most secure and technologically sophisticated datacenter on the Eastern seaboard. The campus consists of multiple buildings, each a secure bunker with biometric scanners, video surveillance systems, and DoD-trained anti-terrorism personnel on staff.

"In the Dominican Republic, the government actually came to us because they know we are the best at building and operating these types of datacenters. We're working with them in a quasi-partnership to build that relationship," Mr. Gonzalez commented.

Not only for huge corporations or federal governments, Terremark Worldwide provides scalable solutions that permit small or startup companies to focus on what is important - growing their company. "For that little guy who has the big dream we can burst with you as you grow," said Mr. Gonzalez. "Facebook for example was in with us real early, and Facebook has continued to grow and grow and grow. That's one thing we can offer smaller companies. They can come in and start small, and as they grow, we can grow with them. We're not going to hamstring [a growing company], or keep them from continuing to grow."

The key to this scalable solution is The Enterprise Cloud™, Terremark's revolutionary new managed platform that provides unprecedented control and flexibility for managing resources. Launched in July 2008, The Enterprise Cloud™ allows allocation of computing resources when and where they are needed. Based on Terremark's proven Infinistructure™ utility platform you can deploy, configure, and manage your server and network infrastructure with the click of a mouse button. Because The Enterprise Cloud™ is based on resources and not large inflexible servers, you can organize your virtual server according to role and demand allocating resources as needed.

"We built The Enterprise Cloud specifically for small to mid size companies," said Gonzalez. "and it's really is the next wave. We're working very closely with VMWare...we think cloud computing is going to be a game changer."

Delivering the expertise, reliability, and global reach today's population demands, Terremark manages some of the most successful organizations in the world. Among the entities depending upon Terremark's technology platforms are Club Med, SUBWAY® Restaurants, VeriSign Inc., IBM, Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) - just to name a few.

Terremark's Interactive Entertainment Group also provides tailored solutions for game developers and publishers. Terremark excels at meeting the unique requirements of entertainment applications such as casual gaming, MMORPGs, social networks, or virtual worlds. A full spectrum of services from managed hosting to colocation and professional services including application stress testing and release management are available.

Interactive Entertainment leaders including Match.com, Firaxis, Facebook, and LEGO have realized the benefits of Terremark's platform and technological services. Leveraging the industry's most sophisticated operations platform including a global datacenter footprint, plug-and-play access to more than 160 global network carriers and the Infinistructure™ utility computing platform these companies are just a few who have recognized the benefits of Terremark Worldwide's services.

Success in today's global environment depends on many factors. Terremark Worldwide is the leader in providing services that help insure success, and why global carriers, ISPs and other Internet-related businesses, educational institutions, and enterprises have chosen to become Terremark clients.
