Terremark Worldwide, Inc., a leading global provider of managed IT infrastructure services, today announced the initial deployment of its Enterprise Cloud in Latin America. Terremark’s highly reliable cloud computing solutions will leverage Cisco’s Unified Computing System to provide customers highly agile and scalable cloud-based resources from its massively connected Network Access Point (NAP) do Brasil in São Paolo. The NAP do Brasil is the largest peering point in Latin America and offers customers a true, multinational cloud infrastructure capable of meeting industry standards for compliance. Terremark’s Brazilian cloud deployment is connected to its cloud infrastructure currently available at the company’s North American and European facilities.

“Terremark has been at the forefront of the global shift to cloud computing, and a leading service provider in testing and deploying our breakthrough Unified Computing System platform," said Soni Jiandani, vice president, Cisco’s Server Access and Virtualization Technology Group. "Cisco Unified Computing System innovations such as memory expansion and the Virtualized Network Interface Card, combined with the power of the Intel Xeon 5600 series processor, have created the highest performing system available to customers today. Cisco’s architectural innovations make the Unified Computing System the ideal platform for running today’s most important business applications."
