IIP InterNAP Network Services

Internap Network Services Corporation (AMEX: IIP), a leading provider of performance-based routing solutions over the Internet, today announced the expansions of its Boston and New York data center facilities. The plans allow Internap to address growing customer demands within each city and maximize its existing space. Completion of both build-outs is expected before the end of the year. Including its Boston and New York facilities, Internap currently operates and manages seven data centers with additional locations in Atlanta, Houston, and Seattle. The company also offers space in 23 additional facilities operated by strategic partners across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pac. "These strategic investments help strengthen Internap's core IP portfolio and allow us to effectively optimize our existing real estate without incurring the level of substantial capital expenditures required for traditional greenfield builds," said James P. DeBlasio, chief executive officer of Internap. "The proposed plans let us quickly turn up additional space to meet the growing demands of our customers in Boston and New York, while offering them a cost-effective and high quality solution for data center services."

Services offered include colocation, managed security services and managed router services, among others. Each data center also provides access to Internap's route optimization service, Performance IP(TM), which is backed by industry-leading service level agreements and supported by a dedicated Network Operations Center.
