Hostopia
Opens New Facilities In NAP Of The Americas
[2nd December 2003]
Tier-1 Carrier-Neutral NAP enhances
Hostopia’s content serving and data transit
December
2, 2003, Fort Lauderdale, USA - Hostopia, the award-winning
provider of
outsourced private-label email and web hosting for small
businesses, has expanded its network operations, to
Terremark’s NAP of the Americas in Miami, Florida.
“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 NAP 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 NAP of the
Americas 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 NAP of the Americas
gives Hostopia physical presence in the world’s
fifth Tier –1 NAP in the world and the security,
reliability and scalability that we need. 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.”
