September 20, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Internet exchange operator Terremark Worldwide Inc. (terremark.com) announced on Monday that Miami-Dade County has signed a contract for Internet connectivity and colocation services at the NAP of the Americas. The total contract value is approximately $5.4 million, including all options and extensions.
The contract terms include a two-year contract for 600 square feet of colocation space and power, plus four one-year extensions and options for two additional allotments of 600 square feet of space and power. Terremark will provide the County with a package of Internet access and managed router services, including dual high-speed connections into the NAP's exchange point platform, secure and redundant colocation space and power, and access to the NAP's multi-carrier Internet routing service. The contract also serves as a vehicle for other municipalities to purchase multiple services that Terremark offers at the NAP of the Americas.
The NAP of the Americas will support the County's Internet services and significantly expand its connectivity capabilities, allowing for future seamless connections with local municipalities, the county's departments and other organizations, as well as local educational institutions already at the NAP, such as Florida International University and the Florida LambdaRail Consortium.
"We are excited to partner with the County to service its citizens and industries," says Manuel D. Medina, chairman and CEO of Terremark. "The NAP's unique value proposition and the benefits we have to offer the public sector have made us the facility of choice for government entities."
