IIP InterNAP Network Services

Internap Network Services Corporation (AMEX:IIP), a leading provider of performance-based routing solutions over the Internet, today announced that it has extended its IP footprint via a new data center in the greater Los Angeles area operated by 365 Main, Inc. The additional 7,500 square feet of colocation helps Internap meet the needs of an increasing number of large bandwidth customers within the market. The move also allows the Atlanta-based company to offer more customers its bundled colocation and Performance IP(TM) services. Currently over 90% of customers located in Internap data centers purchase its IP services, which routes data across the optimal path using up to eight major Internet backbones. This extension complements 13 other Internap service points in California. Located in 365 Main's new El Segundo data center, Internap's newest service point features Tier IV power, cooling, security and connectivity for computing environments and is certified to high industry standards and compliance requirements. The fully redundant data center also allows Internap to offer a high-density solution to customers with increased computing power demands, including customers requiring IP solutions capable of handling 10 Gbps throughput. The scalable solution lets high bandwidth customers, such as e-commerce and large content providers, add capacity at-will. "California is home to a number of companies that deploy bandwidth intensive applications like streaming media, gaming and peer-to-peer networks. Extending our footprint allows businesses in the area to take advantage of Internap as an alternative provider for fast, reliable connectivity," said Bob Smith, chief marketing officer, Internap. "Internap's extension also helps us meet the growing bandwidth demands of our existing customers, particularly those that require a high performance IP solution that optimizes latency-sensitive applications, such as voice and video." Performance IP services turned up through the new facility will include Internap's signature 24x7x365 Network Operations Center support, as well as the company's industry-leading Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for 100% network availability.
