Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:TMRK),
a leading global provider of managed IT infrastructure services, today
announced that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has selected
Terremark’s Enterprise Cloud platform to support its strategy to
leverage cloud computing, including the agency's plan to host its web
site in the cloud. Terremark’s highly secure Infrastructure-as-a-Service
(IaaS) offering will support the FCC’s efforts to provide richer online
services to citizens through a comprehensive overhaul that includes a
complete and comprehensive redesign of FCC.gov and its online systems.
The Enterprise Cloud provides the FCC with on-demand access to reliable
computing resources delivered from an IaaS platform that is certified
and accredited to Federal Information Security Managements Act (FISMA)
requirements. The unique ability of Terremark’s industry-leading cloud
computing solution to directly and securely connect with dedicated
servers housed in the FCC’s datacenter was another vital differentiator
in the agency’s selection process.
The Enterprise Cloud, which is based on Terremark’s proven utility
computing platform and delivered from top-tier, massively connected
datacenters, provides the FCC with a dedicated pool of processing,
storage and networking that allows the deployment of computing resources
in real-time. The platform is supported by highly experienced, certified
professionals who are exceedingly knowledgeable about government
security requirements and employ various security measures, from a
proprietary memory analytics and integrity validation system to managed
intrusion detection and prevention, to secure the customer environments.
"The FCC’s selection of the Enterprise Cloud serves as further
validation of the compelling value Terremark’s cloud computing solutions
provide our federal customers,” said Bruce Hart, COO of Terremark
Federal Group. "With various federal government agencies leveraging our
ultra-secure and highly scalable cloud platform to meet their real-time
IT infrastructure needs, Terremark continues to distinguish itself as
the cloud computing leader in the federal market. Our proven ability to
comply with the highest security standards while delivering leading-edge
IaaS solutions designed to fulfill each customer’s specific requirements
ideally positions our company to further benefit from the U.S.
government’s increasing adoption of cloud computing.”
