Hostopia, the award-winning provider of outsourced private-label email and web hosting for small businesses, has expanded its network operations, opening facilities within Terremark’s Technology Center of The Americas (TECOTA) building in Florida, home to The NAP of the Americas (NOTA).
“Hostopia’s rapid growth rate of small business web sites and email services requires us to constantly scale ahead of the demand curve for transit. Our network expansion into the NOTA facilities gives us settlement-free peering capabilities to the same switching fabric used by the world’s leading tier-1 carriers,” reports Bill Campbell, Hostopia’s CEO and CTO.
Hostopia’s network operations began the move into the 750,000 square foot Miami-area facility in October, completing equipment installation, connectivity and going live in November. The move was seamless to Hostopia’s private label partners and their end users.
Bill Robbins, Hostopia vice president, network operations elaborates on the project; “The NOTA facility gives Hostopia physical presence in the world’s fifth largest NAP. It plays a fundamental role in our geographic dispersion strategy, which vastly improves upon traditional payload backhauling, and brings content closer to the end-user.”
Hostopia provides web hosting and email infrastructure management for many of the world’s leading service providers, including Velocitus Broadband, USLec, Register.com, Telus and Bell Canada. “Downtime is unthinkable when you serve clients in this space,” Campbell says. “Both core service offerings and backup systems will be sited at the NOTA facility, making our already reliable multi-site network even more robust. NOTA’s coveted list of European, Latin American and Asian data carriers, allows us to easily serve these markets with optimal reliability.” Detailed information about Terremark, and the NAP of the Americas can be seen at www.napoftheamericas.com.
