Its content delivery network is enhanced by its unique intelligent architecture, which is the industry's only solution that routes Internet traffic across the best path to improve end-to-end performance.

It will significantly improve Internap's ability to generate multi-national customer contracts and sell more services to new and existing customers. The build-out allows provides Internap customers with consistent, high-quality content delivery solutions, regardless of size, location, and type of content.

DeBlasio, president and CEO of Internap. "Internap's approach to managing the CDN build-out ensures that we leverage existing technology assets and manage capital expenditures within strict financial guidelines. We are expanding our facilities and services to meet the enterprise needs created by an emerging wave of rich media-based communications."
