Apr 30, 2008 : Terremark Hosts Blue Dasher Database

📅 April 30, 2008 - Data center operator and hosting provider Terremark Worldwide (terremark.com ) announced on Wednesday that Blue Dasher Technologies (bluedashertech.com), a company that specializes 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.

With coverage of every public street in the Top 50 US markets planned by the end of the year, Blue Dasher is believed to become one of the world's largest databases at the NAP of the Americas, says Terremark, reaching more than 150 Terabytes.

According to the company's most recent press release, Blue Dasher's advanced solution 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.

The platform also provides image playback with the exact addresses of buildings and lots, advanced search and routing, and support for embedded multimedia.

"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," says Michael Reidbord, CEO of 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."

Over the past month, Terremark has signed deals to host management, compliance and security solutions provider Mitratech's TeamConnect Legal solution as well as the Library of Congress' new website.
