MIAMI, Jan. 20, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Responding to the substantial demand from Federal government agencies and large enterprise customers for world-class IT infrastructure solutions, Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (Nasdaq:TMRK), a leading global provider of managed IT infrastructure services, today announced it has launched construction of the second datacenter at its NAP of the Capital Region (NCR) campus.
The new datacenter, which already has contracts secured for 30 percent of its 50,000 square feet, will extend the availability of Terremark's full suite of IT solutions, including its Enterprise Cloud(tm) services, colocation, managed hosting, disaster recovery/COOP and secure information services. As of December 31, 2008, approximately 80 percent of the NCR's first datacenter has been contracted with a robust pipeline reflecting continued strong demand for Terremark's industry-leading services.
"With the first datacenter almost completely sold out much quicker than we anticipated and a significant portion of the second facility already committed, we believe the strategic decision to begin construction of the second datacenter at the NCR will have a very positive impact on our future growth and returns," said Manuel D. Medina, Terremark's Chairman and CEO. "Our ability to consistently provide Federal customers with reliable, world-class IT infrastructure solutions from an ultra-secure datacenter campus continues to be a key differentiator for our Company. This expertise has proven to be a major factor in the NCR's success in attracting both Federal and enterprise customers, as demonstrated by the continued strength of our pipeline."
Strategically located 60 miles from Washington D.C. in Culpeper, Va., the NCR opened in June 2008 as the most secure and technologically sophisticated datacenter campus in the Eastern United States. The design of the NCR's 30-acre campus, which can accommodate up to five, 50,000-square-foot independent datacenter buildings, was developed to exceed Federal standards for a data communications and hosting facility. This ground-breaking design resulted in a datacenter campus that meets the needs of today's power, space and bandwidth-intensive mission-critical applications or hot/warm sites for disaster recovery/COOP environments.
Terremark will provide further detail on its expansion plans during its quarterly conference call on Thursday, February 5, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. (ET).
