MIAMI, Feb. 23, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (Nasdaq:TMRK), a leading global provider of IT infrastructure services, today announced that its Enterprise Cloud(tm) platform has been selected by the U.S General Services Administration (GSA) to power USA.gov, the Federal government's official web portal. USA.gov, which is managed by the GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Communications, is an easy-to-search, free-access website designed to give visitors a centralized place to find information from U.S. local, state, and federal government agency websites.
The GSA will leverage the Enterprise Cloud's reliability and agility to dynamically provision highly available cloud computing resources to handle any spikes in online traffic. The on-demand nature of The Enterprise Cloud allowed Terremark to provide the GSA complete access to secure cloud-based computing resources within minutes instead of weeks. Terremark's solution will also supply GSA with industry-leading physical and logical security and robust connectivity to some of the world's leading carrier networks.
"GSA's choice of The Enterprise Cloud to host USA.gov proves the reliability and compelling value proposition our cloud computing platform offers to Federal government agencies," said Jamie Dos Santos, President and CEO of Terremark Federal Group. "As organizations search for the most agile and cost-effective solutions to their IT infrastructure needs, The Enterprise Cloud provides a scalable and dynamic platform designed to meet their real-time needs."
The Enterprise Cloud from Terremark is a game-changing managed computing platform that gives customers the ability to provision, configure, deploy and manage computing resources for mission-critical applications in minutes, giving control over a flexible pool of computing resources with a web-based console for deploying server capacity on demand. The Dynamic Capacity Management feature that can be enabled for processing and memory resources as required, provides real-time access to additional computing capacity, allowing clients to address transient spikes in usage in a flexible and cost-effective manner.
"We are excited about the continued success of our Federal business and the significant opportunities we expect in the coming quarters," said Manuel D. Medina, Terremark's Chairman and CEO. "We believe our experience providing enterprise-class cloud computing services to the commercial market, and our vast experience working with government customers, ideally positions us to benefit as more and more Federal government agencies adopt cloud computing solutions to meet their IT needs."
