Blue NAP Americas Needed a More Secure, Scalable and Flexible Cloud Platform Computer Services Business challenge To expand its data center offerings to include cloud services, Blue NAP Americas needed a more secure, scalable and flexible cloud platform. Transformation Blue NAP Americas needed a new cloud platform that could deliver cloud services to customers from its Tier IV data center.

As a result, cloud services have become the top seller in the company’s portfolio.

  • 4 Inter-Colonial Networks and Revolutionary Ferment in Eighteenth
    4 Inter-colonial networks and revolutionary ferment in eighteenth-century Curaçao and Tierra Firme Linda M. Rupert Whether or not the slave uprisings that occurred within three months of each other in Curaçao and Coro in 1795 were part of a coherent conspiracy remains open to debate, and it may never be resolved with irrefutable evidence. There is no doubt, however, that the revolts were connected at a much deeper level: people of African descent were part of well-established communications and exchange circuits that had linked the two areas for over one hundred years. In fact, ties between Curaçao and Tierra Firme, most especially the area around Coro, had a much longer history, one which predated the Dutch and even the Spanish presence in the Caribbean, and which was integrally tied to the area’s geography.1 Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centu- ries, once the island and the nearby mainland became part of separate colonial spheres (the Dutch and the Spanish, respectively) denizens from across the socio-economic spectrum forged their own inter-colo- nial networks, especially via contraband trade (Rupert 2006:35-54). The links that people of African descent developed between Curaçao and Tierra Firme were embedded in these wider trans-colonial con- nections and went much deeper than any possible slave conspiracy. overlapping jurisdictions Markedly different degrees and styles of imperial management shaped the character of the inter-colonial ties that developed between the two areas. For the Dutch in Curaçao, territorial hegemony was almost incidental to the development of empire. Control over this small Caribbean nodal point, with its strategic location and excellent deep-water harbour, was sufficient for opening the broader commer- 1 Haviser 1987:11, 51–4; 73–9, 140–9; Watlington 2003:31-2; Whitehead 1995: Introduction.
