About Internap
Internap provides high performance, managed Internet connectivity solutions to business customers who require guaranteed network availability and high performance levels for business-critical applications, such as e-commerce, video and audio streaming, voice over Internet Protocol, virtual private networks and supply chain management. Internap’s proprietary route optimization technology monitors the performance of these Internet networks and allows us to intelligently route our customers’ Internet traffic over the optimal Internet path in a way that minimizes data loss and network delay. Its service level agreements guarantee performance across the entire Internet in the United States, excluding local connections, whereas conventional Internet connectivity providers typically only guarantee performance on their own network. Internap provides services to customers in various industry verticals, including financial services, entertainment and media, travel, e-commerce retail, and technology. As of December 31, 2003, Internap provided its services to over 1,600 customers in the United States and abroad, including approximately 70 customers in the Fortune 1000 companies.
