Terremark Expands European Cloud Infrastructure Capacity

As part of its focus on delivering secure IT infrastructure solutions to enterprises and government agencies in Europe, Terremark, a Verizon Company, increased its cloud infrastructure capacity by deploying a node of its Enterprise Cloud Managed Edition at its data center in London.  With this expansion of cloud capacity, the London data center joins the company's network of data centers across Europe that serve as the foundation for the secure, enterprise-class services Terremark offers to its multinational customer base.

The London data center provides the robust physical infrastructure that helps Terremark meet the increasing demand from customers for advanced cloud computing, security and IT infrastructure services. As with the cloud deployments in its cloud-enabled data centers around the world, Terremark delivers leading security services to support its public cloud infrastructure and offers a range of IT infrastructure and hybrid cloud solutions to meet customer requirements for their dynamic enterprise systems.  

"This investment is testament to our focus on architecting a global enterprise cloud to help our customers transform their business operations," said Nelson Fonseca, president of Terremark. "London is a crucial business hub for Terremark and Verizon, given the number of global multinationals with operations in the region. The expanded cloud capacity enables us to help our customers securely explore innovative new business models, which will help them to achieve their future business success."

Through Terremark, Verizon is continuing to invest heavily to deliver transformative and secure enterprise IT solutions on a global scale. Most recently, Terremark announced the deployment of a node of its Enterprise Cloud offering in its cloud-enabled data center in Denver, an expansion of its Network Access Point (NAP) in Brazil to serve customers who are expanding their operations in Latin America, and the expansion of the company's NAP of Americas-Colombia facility. In Europe, the company launched the NAP of Amsterdam, a state-of-the-art facility designed with advanced cooling, power, redundancy and sustainability features to maintain the availability of business-critical applications while reducing energy consumption, in September 2011. Verizon also recently opened a new combined Security, Network and Remote Operations Centre in Dortmund, Germany.

Kerry Bailey, Verizon Enterprise Solutions' chief marketing officer, commented: "The ability to quickly and efficiently realize the benefits of enterprise cloud services has been of particular interest to businesses in Europe this year, as they are faced with business continuity concerns in connection with the London 2012 Olympics. It's important for us to invest to support our customers where they need us - this is obviously timely in terms of London 2012, but is also part of our focusing on investing in infrastructure to support our customers' future business growth."

The London data center facility is part of Terremark's network of nearly 50 strategically located data centers around the world. These robust facilities provide advanced security, redundant power and monitoring to maintain availability, and feature advanced colocation and cloud technology for sensitive mission-critical applications.
