NTT America, has been chosen by Twitter, social messaging services firm, to provide managed IT infrastructure services.

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

The integrated NTTA solution includes fully managed hosting, managed security, managed networking, and a tier one global backbone. NTTA's SAS 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. Additionally, NTTA Professional Services bring a proven technical team to the solution to manage IT infrastructure issues, thus enabling Twitter's IT staff to focus priorities elsewhere.
