SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - May 12, 2008) - Cisco (NASDAQ : CSCO ) today announced that
Terremark Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ : TMRK ), a leading global provider of
managed IT infrastructure services, has utilized the Cisco Internet
Protocol Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) architecture for its
Infinistructure™ utility-computing platform at its flagship facility,
the NAP of the Americas. The Cisco IP NGN architecture enables the
convergence of service-specific networks to enable the development and
delivery of application- and subscriber-aware services. This helps
providers both reduce costs and increase scope of service offerings to
their customers.
"There has been a long-standing tradition of collaboration between
Terremark and Cisco to help ensure that our customers' needs are being
met," said Marvin Wheeler, president of Terremark's U.S. Commercial
Business Unit. "Our work together helps ensure that Terremark continues
to enable its customers to focus on their core businesses rather than their
IT infrastructure, and that they are able to continue building out their
networks with minimal disruption as their businesses continue to grow."
Terremark's Infinistructure platform is a true utility-computing solution
designed to solve both the economic and
capacity-on-demand shortcomings of traditional infrastructure.
Infinistructure's enterprise-class server and storage infrastructure
combines Terremark's proprietary digitalOps® service-management platform
with leading-edge virtualization technology from Cisco and other companies,
providing a highly scalable and flexible high-performance computing
platform. Infinistructure's on-demand network, storage and computing
architecture allows customers to precisely match their infrastructure
requirements to their business needs with a fully managed solution with
plug-and-play access to network connectivity from more than 160 carriers.
Terremark's Infinistructure platform integrates Cisco Catalyst® 6500 and
4900 Series Switches, Cisco ASA firewalls and Cisco MDS switches at its NAP
of the Americas.
"We are truly pleased to be working with Terremark to help them continue to
meet their customers' growing and increasingly varied hosting needs," said
Jeff Spagnola, vice president of service provider marketing for Cisco.
"Cisco and Terremark share a vision for the proliferation of virtualized
services, which enable businesses' IT resources to grow with their
business, while avoiding significant capital expenditures and reducing the
operational expenditures."
