Communication Solutions

Twitter, a leading provider of social messaging services, has selected NTT America, Inc. (NTTA) hosting platform for performance and growth.

 

NTTA is a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation and a global enterprise solution provider that integrates networks, hosting and Web infrastructure services.

 

NTT America is North America's natural gateway to the Asia-Pacific region, with strong capabilities in the U.S. market.

 

The integrated NTTA solution includes fully managed hosting, managed security, managed networking, and a tier one global backbone.

 

NTTA's SAS (News - Alert) 70 Type II audited Premier Data Centers provide an IT infrastructure-as-a-service that is fully redundant with high availability and scalability to support Twitter's continued rapid growth.

 

"NTT Communications' history of reliability and its global perspective were key factors in our decision to select NTTA as our hosting services provider," Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said in a press release.

 

"As Twitter grows and more people around the world depend on our infrastructure, we feel an increased responsibility to make the right decisions for the people who have helped make us a success as well as those who have yet to discover our service."

 

Lee Mighdoll, Twitter Vice President of Engineering and Operation, noted, "With NTTA, we can focus our resources on developing software and serving our valued user community rather than on building, financing, and managing an in- house IT infrastructure team."

 

"We are proud that Twitter selected NTTA as its trusted growth partner," said Don Goodwin, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "NTTA IT infrastructure-as-a-service enables Web 2.0 companies and their investors to maintain a laser focus on their strategy, get to market faster and preserve capital. It also significantly reduces the cost and energy required to build and maintain an IT infrastructure. By deploying the NTTA Enterprise Hosting Platform, Twitter can easily scale its application to deliver on its promise of reliability to its user community around the world."

 

Twitter is a social messaging service which connects people over multiple devices including mobile texting, instant messaging, web browsers, and hundreds of third-party applications due to a popular programming interface for developers.
