Data Center Details

The NAP of the Americas data center is located in downtown Miami, and is home to a broad range of networks and interconnection partners. Miami is a key destination point for multiple global submarine cable systems, making it one of the top five most-connected cities in the world. Providers deployed in Miami can quickly and affordably access leading Latin American networks, reducing latency for the South and Central American end users.

The NAP of the Americas facility serves as a critical network hub for internet traffic coming to and from Latin America and the Caribbean.

Located in downtown, this data center is structurally designed to withstand Category 5 hurricane winds and is outside both the 500-year flood plain and the Miami-Dade hurricane evacuation zone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Miami a good location for colocation or bare metal?

Numerous undersea fiber-optic cable landings in Miami help data center customers get high performance connectivity to large markets of end users in Latin America, the Caribbean, and more. Miami can also be a good disaster recovery location deployments in Ashburn and New York, providing similar performance to end users in the East Coast of the United States.

Does Miami have a good climate for data center colocation?

Miami and most of Florida is usually able to avoid extreme weather events like earthquakes, tornadoes, and blizzards. However, hurricanes are a concern, but data center builders and operators in Florida have extensive experience preparing for. Builders are willing to invest in the right safeguards and build their facilities to meet and exceed strict codes to protect them during storms.

Are there data centers in Florida?

Yes. There are over 120 data centers throughout Florida. The most popular location is Miami, where multiple submarine cables land, giving people deployed there high speed access to markets abroad. A few other cables terminate in Jacksonville, making it another popular location for data centers.

What are BGP Anycast groups?

At NetActuate, BGP Anycast groups are a unique combination of routing policies, transit providers, DDoS mitigation, prefixes, and resources like BGP sessions attached to them. Each group has its own unique controls, includes all dedicated resources/features mentioned here, and is billed independently.

Where can I learn more about BGP Anycast?

You can go to our resource site at anycast.com to learn more about BGP Anycast and use cases.

Can I deploy a hybrid network using your platform and other providers?

Yes. We offer LOAs, policy tools, and automation support so you can mix and match resources across platforms.

Is this suitable for production or only testing?

Our platform powers mission-critical workloads for some of the largest DNS and cybersecurity companies. It's ideal for both testing and full production.

Do I need to understand BGP to use this?

No. You can let us handle BGP for you and use the platform through our portal and APIs.

Can I use my own ASN and IP addresses?

Absolutely. Our platform supports BYOIP, custom ASN announcements, and origin rewriting so that your service appears globally unified without managing complex routing.

How quickly can I deploy a new Anycast node?

In most cases, a new node can be deployed within minutes via our API or portal, with BGP sessions and IP assignments ready to announce.

Does the platform support IPv6?

Yes, dual-stack support is included. Every deployment fully supports IPv4 and IPv6 without additional configuration.

What kind of DDoS mitigation is included?

We include up to 1 Tbps of mitigation capacity with multi-provider integration and custom policies at no additional cost.

Can I control which POPs announce my routes?

Yes. You can use BGP communities and tags to manage where your traffic originates from and maintain regional control.

What’s included in the managed NOC service?

Our 24x7x365 NOC monitors your routes, responds to alerts, follows your SOP/MOP, and communicates directly with your team via Slack or ticketing.
