May 13, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Internap Network Services Corporation (www.internap.com), a global provider of end-to-end Internet business solutions, has announced plans to add approximately 15,000 square feet of colocation at a new stand alone 45,000 square foot facility adjacent to its existing Boston data center. The expansion helps the company meet strong customer demand for its bundled Internet solutions. The first phase of completion will become available in the fourth quarter of this year.
Infrastructure plans will allow Internap to provide a maximum amount of power and cooling to support a customer’s high-density solutions. This new facility will also take advantage of more environmentally friendly technologies, including ultrasonic humidification, air economizers and circuit level power monitoring, all designed to provide a less energy intensive solution, as compared to previous generations of data centers.
The Boston expansion also provides access to Internap’s Performance IP™ and Content Delivery Network (CDN) product offerings. These premium Internet connectivity and content delivery services enable customers to deploy next-generation Internet applications such as video and rich media.
“This initiative is part of our strategic plan to enhance data center offerings in key markets,” said James P. DeBlasio, chief executive officer of Internap. “With this expansion in Boston, Internap now has its ninth owned facility and a total of 43 colocation service points, demonstrating our commitment to serving our customer’s growth requirements now and in the future.”
