Guaranteed Performance and Massive Connectivity Critical for Blue
Dasher Technologies' Database of High-Density Street-Level Images
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 2008--Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:TMRK),
a leading global provider of IT infrastructure services, today announced that
Blue Dasher Technologies, a technology leader in 360-degree street-level
imaging, has selected Terremark to host its database of high-density geo-coded
images of public streets of major metropolitan areas in North America.
Blue Dasher's advanced solution for 360-degree, street-level image capture is
part of the next wave of innovation in mapping and navigation. The company's
spherical images and the underlying data are delivered as a GIS platform that is
licensed to enhance consumer, commercial, industrial and government
applications.
With coverage of every public street in the Top 50 U.S. markets planned by
year-end, Blue Dasher will host one of the world's largest databases at the NAP
of the Americas - reaching more than 150 Terabytes.
"Because we offer high-density photos and routing technology as a hosted
solution, it's critical we have a partner that we can rely on to deliver the
performance our customer sites need and their users demand," said Michael
Reidbord, CEO, Blue Dasher Technologies. "Terremark's track record of supporting
leading global Web 2.0 companies and its global data center footprint weighed
heavily in our selection of Terremark. Down the road, we anticipate that we'll
leverage their facilities in Europe and South America to support our efforts in
those regions."
"Blue Dasher's unique panoramic imaging technology is a perfect example of the
new breed of business-critical applications that require massive connectivity to
function as intended," said Marvin Wheeler, President of Terremark's U.S.
Commercial Business Unit. "We look forward to enabling Blue Dasher's innovative
application to provide one-of-a-kind views of the top metropolitan areas in the
country and growing with them as they expand into other parts of North America
and internationally."
