Hostopia Opens New Facilities
In Nap Of The Americas
[2nd December 2003]
$250 million center 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, 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.”
