IIP InterNAP Network Services

Internap Network Services Corporation (AMEX:IIP), a leading provider of performance-based routing solutions over the Internet, announced that its Seattle data center would be the location of its newest expansion efforts. The announcement comes on the heels of additional build-outs in Boston and New York, which were initiated to meet the growing demands of clients in those metropolitan markets. Completion of the proposed Seattle expansion is expected in early 2007. Internap(R) will support the Seattle colocation expansion with enhancements to its underlying data center infrastructure, as well as a dedicated network operations center and sales team. The new space will also give Internap the ability to provide more access to its proprietary Performance IP(TM) service, which provides optimized Internet connectivity. The company's strong service level agreements (SLAs) and carrier neutral approach will be marketed to help fill the additional space. "I believe customers value our flexible approach to colocation and find that it complements our premium IP and route optimization services," said James P. DeBlasio, chief executive officer of Internap. "This expansion allows us to accommodate the market's growth by offering the best possible environment for providing high-value Internet connectivity." In addition to colocation and Performance IP, Internap data center solutions include managed security and managed router services. According to Gartner, North American hosted and managed colocation services will experience 14.8 percent and 16.4 percent growth respectively, during the next 12 months. Market drivers include voice and data convergence, as well as the increase of virtualized operating systems that will require optimization through the network, among others.
