E-Commerce Park NV

E-Commerce Park is located in Curaçao and was established in 1999 as part of a public-private initiative to make Curaçao one of the e-commerce centers of the region. The government wanted to attract IT and e-commerce businesses, and for that purpose introduced E-Zone legislation as well as e-commerce legislation that recognizes the digital signature in its trade law.

Construction of the first phase of the park started in the winter of 2000. This phase consisted of a purpose-built data center with a capacity of 110 cabinets, as well as a 29,000 square foot office campus for call centers and companies that need high availability of internet and infrastructure. The data center has a minimum of N+1 redundancy and is categorized as Tier III. A 10,000+ square foot annex to the original facility opened in late 2008. The annex provides business continuity and disaster recovery services to local and regional companies. The campus houses the Columbus Networks landing station, the AMS-IX Caribbean internet exchange, and points of presence for most of Curaçao's telecom licensees.
