Accessible and Flexible New Offering Leverages VMware Platform and Expands Terremark's Suite of Cloud Computing Services
MIAMI, Sep 01, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:TMRK), a leading global provider of
managed IT infrastructure services, today announced the addition of the
vCloud Express service to its suite of VMware Virtualized offerings.
vCloud Express is a new class of service based on VMware's powerful
virtualization platform that allows software developers and other users
to easily access computing resources in a pay-as-you-go model. vCloud
Express will provide customers with flexible computing on demand, with
the power and control to configure resources as needed. It uniquely
offers users compatibility with their internal datacenters, as well as
Terremark's Enterprise Cloud offering, enabling users to move
applications to the production environment of their choice.
Customers will be able to easily sign up for the service online with a
credit card and immediately begin provisioning computing capacity using
Terremark's intuitive Web console. Integrated firewalls, load balancing
and network management features allow users to easily customize their
cloud environment to their specific needs. Users will also be able to
access their cloud computing environments via the VMware vCloud(TM) API,
enabling interoperability across internal and external clouds. A
Terremark vCloud Express community website featuring expert blogs,
support forums and product documentation will provide customers with an
interactive platform to receive up-to-date information and insights from
Terremark's team of cloud computing experts.
"Customers have asked for a cloud solution that they can easily develop
and experiment with that delivers compatibility with their internal
datacenters as well as with enterprise-class production cloud
offerings," said Dan Chu, VP of emerging business, VMware, "We feel
Terremark's innovation and commitment to vCloud Express answers that
request. We are excited to have Terremark provide its vCloud Express and
Enterprise Cloud offerings addressing both the developer and the
enterprise cloud user, matching the tier of service needed to align with
the IT and business needs of each."
With the addition of vCloud Express, Terremark is expanding its suite of
industry-leading infrastructure-as-a-service solutions. These solutions
will leverage VMware's robust and advanced enterprise-class platform and
Terremark's top-tier, massively connected datacenter facilities to
deliver high-performance cloud computing services to the developer
market.
Terremark's strategic move into the cloud computing market began with
the June 2008 launch of the Enterprise Cloud, a highly reliable and
secure platform with the power to dynamically provision computing
resources for mission-critical applications. Designed to meet the high
security and regulatory standards of large enterprises and Federal
government agencies, the Enterprise Cloud leverages a full suite of
managed security services and unique "burst" option to offer customers a
highly secure and elastic platform to meet their IT infrastructure needs.
"vCloud Express is the latest example of how Terremark is on the
leading-edge of technological innovation in the cloud," said Terremark's
Chairman and CEO Manuel D. Medina. "As we further expand our suite of
cloud computing services, our legacy of delivering highly reliable
enterprise-level IT infrastructure solutions will remain core to our
offerings."
Terremark's vCloud Express will initially be launched in a
limited-availability beta program, with a full launch scheduled by the
end of 2009. Information on Terremark's vCloud Express is available at http://vcloudexpress.terremark.com.
