Latest Deployment Part of Planned Global Expansion with Terremark in Spain
MIAMI & MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Terremark Worldwide,
Inc. (NASDAQ:TMRK), a leading global provider of IT infrastructure services,
today announced that VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), the trusted provider of
Internet infrastructure services for the networked world, has expanded its
Internet infrastructure by deploying additional infrastructure in Terremark's
Madrid facility, the NAP de las Americas Madrid. The deployment is part of
VeriSign's Project Titan initiative to strengthen and secure its global Internet
infrastructure.
In addition to its deployment in Spain, VeriSign has previously deployed core
Internet infrastructure at the NAP of the Americas in Miami. VeriSign's
infrastructure in the Miami facility includes primary generic Top Level Domain (gTLD)
servers for .com and .net.
"The .com and .net infrastructures are continually being fortified and scaled to
defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks," said Ken Silva, chief
technology officer, VeriSign. "VeriSign is increasing the capacity of its global
Internet infrastructure by ten times by the year 2010 and it has become ever
more important to proactively expand our infrastructure to areas where Internet
users are rapidly expanding."
Traffic volume continues to increase with the emergence of consumer-driven
services, the surge in Web-connected wireless devices and the proliferation of
technologies and services using the Domain Name System (DNS). VeriSign processes
a peak of more than 48 billion DNS queries per day under normal traffic
conditions.
VeriSign has benefited from being a part of Terremark's peering network at the
NAP of the Americas that provides connectivity to more than 160 global carrier
networks. By joining Terremark's peering network, the means by which Internet
traffic, from e-mail to video, is exchanged between networks, VeriSign has
helped deliver faster and more reliable traffic exchange across Terremark's
peering network thereby increasing the "paths" to the Internet for end users.
"We are proud to have VeriSign expand its relationship with us and deploy
critical Internet infrastructure in our Madrid facility," said Manuel D. Medina,
Terremark's Chairman and CEO. "As VeriSign increases its daily DNS query
capacity from 400 billion queries a day to more than 4 trillion queries a day,
we look forward to continuing to play an important role in delivering core
Internet infrastructure services."
