11:50:15 - 30 August 2005

Greenberg Traurig, Ferrell Law and Shutts & Bowen Choose Terremark’s NAP to House Mission-Critical Infrastructure and Strengthen Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Strategy

Miami, FL., August 30, 2005 – Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (AMEX:TWW) a leading operator of integrated Tier-1 Internet exchanges and best-in-class network services, today announced that the law firms of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, Ferrell Law, PA and Shutts & Bowen, LLP, have signed contracts to house their mission-critical infrastructure at the NAP of the Americas and strengthen their Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity strategy.

Terremark will provide these law firms with its “SecuredVirtual™ Legal Suite” which gives customers the ability to implement a Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plan, and assist them with securing their clients’ data in the new regulatory environment created by Sabanes-Oxley and similar legislation. The “SecuredVirtual™ Legal Suite”, coupled with its SAS 70 Type II certification, makes the NAP of the Americas the perfect way for the nation’s law firms to assure clients that their data is secured and always accessible.

“Relocating our servers and most critical systems at a secured and protected datacenter means satisfaction that our infrastructure is safe” said Ken Schultz, Greenberg Traurig’s Director of Technology. “It is amazing to compare our preparation for this last storm with the preparations we had made in years past without a datacenter.  The NAP allows us the opportunity to actually spent most of the day before the storm focused on scheduling, transferring support calls and making sure people can secure their homes -- anything but worry about our critical data and systems.”
 
“We must ensure that our lawyers and professionals in New York, Latin America and Miami, as well as our clients throughout the world, will always have their data and electronic communication capabilities available regardless of any natural disaster or catastrophe,” said Milton M. Ferrell, Jr. President of Ferrell Law.  “Terremark’s proven reliability and their 24/7 online guarantee, gives my organization and our clients the peace of mind they deserve.”

“The NAP of the Americas provides Shutts & Bowen LLP and our clients with the guarantee that our information will be safe, secure and accessible during a natural disaster,” said Richard E. Kerley, COO of Shutts & Bowen.  “It is critical that our 175 attorneys in Florida and Europe have uninterrupted access to their information and that our communications networks continue to operate without a hitch.”

“We welcome these law firms to our growing customer base and anticipate that other professional services firms will take advantage of the NAP’s state-of-the-art connectivity, security and redundancy necessary to manage their mission-critical infrastructure,” said Manuel D. Medina, Chairman and CEO of Terremark Worldwide, Inc.
