MIAMI – September 22, 2011 – As part of its focus on delivering secure IT infrastructure solutions to enterprises and government agencies across the globe, Terremark, a Verizon Company, today announced the opening of the Network Access Point (NAP) of Amsterdam. The NAP of Amsterdam joins Terremark’s network of more than 10 top-tier datacenters across Europe that serve as the foundation for the secure, enterprise-class services the company offers to customers throughout the world.
The company’s new European flagship facility provides 25,000 square feet of data center space inside the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol Area, meeting in-region demand for advanced cloud computing, security and IT infrastructure services. The NAP of Amsterdam was strategically built to access one of the world’s largest Internet hubs in terms of traffic and members. Additionally, the new NAP is directly connected to AMS-IX, one of the world’s largest Internet exchanges with more than 350 members. Through the presence of AMS-IX, Terremark’s enterprise and government customers can leverage the hundreds of global networks while reducing latency and controlling transit costs.
