Terremark's first data center at the NAP of the Capital Region.
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center operator and managed IT infrastructure solutions provider Terremark Worldwide (www.terremark.com) announced on Tuesday it has begun construction on the second data center at its NAP of the Capital Region campus to meet the demand from Federal government agencies and large enterprise customers for IT infrastructure solutions.
The new data center, which spans 50,000 square feet, has already secured contracts for 30 percent of its space.
The build will extend the availability of Terremark’s full suite of IT solutions, including its enterprise cloud services, colocation, managed hosting, disaster recovery/COOP and secure information services.
The company began offering its full suite of managed solutions at the NAP of the Capital Region last week, following the completed deployment of its Infinistructure utility-computing platform.
The first NCR data center has almost reached full capacity, and as of December 31, 2008, has contracted about 80 percent of its space. Aditionally, the company has installed a robust pipeline, reflecting continued strong demand for the company’s services.
“With the first data center 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 data center at the NCR will have a very positive impact on our future growth and returns,” says 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 data center campus continues to be a key differentiator for our company. “
Opened in June 2008, the NCR data center campus is strategically located 60 miles from Washington DC in Culpeper, Virginia.
Developed to exceed Federal standards for a data communications and hosting facility, the NCR’s 30-acre campus can accommodate up to five, 50,000-square-foot independent data center structures and a 72,000-square-foot secure office building.
Terremark offers more detail about the NCR campus on its website, which also includes a video tour of the site.
The data center campus is designed to meets the significant demands of power, space and bandwidth-intensive mission-critical applications or hot/warm sites for disaster recovery/COOP environments.
Using data centers in the United States, Europe and Latin America with access to massive and diverse network connectivity, Terremark provides government and enterprise customers a comprehensive suite of managed solutions including managed hosting, colocation, disaster recovery, security and cloud computing services.
