Network Access Point (NAP) of the Americas (called MI1 by Equinix)[2] is a massive, six-story, 750,000 square foot data center[3] and Internet exchange point[4] in Miami, Florida, operated by Equinix. It is one of the world's largest data centers and among the 10 most interconnected data centers in the United States.[5][6] It is located at 50 NE 9th Street in downtown Miami.[5][7]
The facility is home to 160 network carriers[8] and is a pathway for data traffic from the Caribbean and South and Central America to more than 150 countries.[2][6][9] It is also home to one of the K-roots of the Domain Name System.[10]
The NAP of the Americas is built 32 feet (9.8 m) above sea level and is designed to withstand Category 5 hurricane winds.[2] It provides access to 15 subsea cable landings and serves as a relay for the U.S. Department of State's Diplomatic Telecommunications Service.[7][11]
