WIRELESS NEWS-November 5, 2008-VeriSign Expands Internet Infrastructure in Spain (C)2008 10Meters - http://www.10meters.com

Terremark Worldwide, a provider of IT infrastructure services, announced that VeriSign, a supplier of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world, has expanded its Internet infrastructure by deploying additional infrastructure in Terremark's Madrid facility, NAP de las Americas Madrid.
The deployment is part of VeriSign's Project Titan initiative to secure its global Internet infrastructure.

In addition to its deployment in Spain, VeriSign has deployed core Internet infrastructure at the NAP of the Americas in Miami. VeriSign's infrastructure in the Miami facility includes primary generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) servers for .com and .net.

"The .com and .net infrastructures are continually being fortified and scaled to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks," said Ken Silva, CTO, VeriSign. "VeriSign is increasing the capacity of its global Internet infrastructure by ten times by the year 2010 and it has become ever more important to proactively expand our infrastructure to areas where Internet users are rapidly expanding."

VeriSign said traffic volume continues to increase with the emergence of consumer-driven services, the surge in Web-connected wireless devices and the proliferation of technologies and services using the Domain Name System (DNS). VeriSign processes a peak of more than 48 billion DNS queries per day under normal traffic conditions.
