Business Wire
Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (AMEX:TWW), a leading operator of
integrated Tier-1 Internet exchanges and a global provider of
managed IT infrastructure solutions for government and private
sectors, today announced that the South Florida Water Management
District has signed a multi-year contract to house their critical
infrastructure at the NAP of the Americas. The South Florida Water
Management District is a regional, governmental agency that
oversees the water resources in the southern half of the state � 16
counties from Orlando to the Florida Keys. It is the oldest and
largest of the state�s five water management districts. The
agency�s mission is to manage and protect water resources of the
region by balancing and improving water quality, flood control,
natural systems and water supply. A key initiative is cleanup and
restoration of the Everglades. Terremark will provide the South
Florida Water Management District with secure and redundant
Internet access, co-location space and power. This co-location
space will serve as the foundation for the District�s internet and
disaster recovery platforms. In addition, the District will use
diverse fiber connections into the NAP on an optical network to
provide highly resilient connectivity onto the District fiber optic
network and to their primary datacenter. �Flood and drought, like
hurricanes and wildfires, have always been a part of subtropical
Florida. Proactive planning, monitoring and management can lessen
the impact of these natural extremes,� said Sharon Trost, IT
Director for South Florida Water Management District. �It is our
responsibility to keep the public and other agencies informed at
all times. Housing our mission-critical infrastructure in a secure,
reliable and accessible facility like the NAP provides us the
up-time that we require to alert the public in the event of these
natural extremes.� �The work of the South Florida Water Management
District is critical to the well-being of our community,� said
Manuel D. Medina, Chairman and CEO of Terremark Worldwide Inc. �We
are delighted that they have decided to house their mission
critical infrastructure with us, as the NAP continues to be the
facility of choice for government entities such as Miami-Dade
County, Cities like Coral Gables, Doral, Miami Beach and others,
who entrust their infrastructure to us for a more secure, reliable
and cost-effective solution.� About Terremark Worldwide, Inc.
