Realauction.com Establishes Data Center at Miami's NAP of the Americas; Move Ensures Performance for Government Clients

Business Wire, August 24, 2005

PLANTATION, Fla. -- Realauction.com recently announced the move of its data servers to the NAP of the Americas, Miami's Tier-1 Network Access Point. NAP of the Americas, owned and operated by Terremark Worldwide, Inc., is the premier location for technology, government and corporate organizations.

The move gives Realauction increased data security, faster processing speeds and enhanced access to networks throughout the world with superior reliability.

Realauction joins government agencies including the US Department of Defense Southern Command, Miami-Dade County (including its 911 center) and the City of Coral Gables in locating its servers at the area's only Tier-1 hosting facility. Other clients of the NAP include AT&T, BellSouth, FPL, Bacardi and Yahoo.

The NAP maintains a 99.9% uptime rate. Redundancy is provided by weekly full and daily incremental backups. The facility is built to withstand a Category 5 hurricane, and is 32 feet above sea level. Additional protective features include a state of the art lightning protection system that works in a radius of 300 feet. On-site technical support and monitoring are available at all times.

"We require fast, secure, dependable transactions for our clients," said Lloyd McClendon, CEO of Realauction. "The NAP is known for security, reliability and speed, so it was a logical choice for our hosting facility. Our experience in government data transfer and online tax lien auctions has shown that these features are vital for our business."

Realauction provides a complete system for counties and municipalities to operate an online sale of delinquent tax lien certificates. The system yields increased revenues to tax collectors, and enables bidders to participate from virtually any location in the world. Savings to taxpayers, with no cost to the county or municipality, have made Realauction the solution of choice for certificate sales.
