Terremark Latin America (Brasil) Ltda., a fully-owned subsidiary of Terremark Worldwide, has partnered with Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo - FAPESP to co-manage the NAP do Brasil facility. FAPESP, the equivalent of the National Science Foundation in the United States, had been operating a not-for-profit peering point for almost four years as a service to the Internet community in Brazil. As a result of FAPESP's foresight, professionalism and reputation for excellence in the scientific community, the peering point attracted over 30 carriers and ISPs, including every major operator in the region. The peering point, which is referred to in Sao Paulo as the "PTT" or Ponto de Troca de Tráfego (Network Access Point), has been renamed "NAP do Brasil."

Opened in March of 2004, the NAP do Brasil is the largest NAP in Latin America with a total exchange traffic of 5.2 Gbps.  Our clients include all major carriers operating in Brazil.  Terremark operates the Academic Network of the State of São Paulo, under outsourcing contract with FAPESP from this facility which uses the same world class practices used by NAP of the Americas® in Miami. 

Cooling

The HVAC systems at the NAP do Brasil have two chillers with air condensation, two water cool pumps from a primary circuit and two water cool pumps from a secondary circuit, both working in a redundant system. The total capacity consists of two units of Carrier Chillers, each one with a 298 ton air handling capacity.

Internal conditions of Temperature and Humidity are maintained at a temperature = 20ºC ± 2ºC and Relativity Humidity = 45% ± 5%.
