Internap Completes Global CDN Expansion with New Points of Presence in Hong Kong and TokyoStrengthens Asian presence, reinforcing commitment to maximizing performance for customers worldwideATLANTA, GA – January 10, 2008 – Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a global provider of end-to-end Internet business solutions, announced today the completion of its previously-announced plans to expand the company’s global content delivery network (CDN) to Hong Kong and Tokyo by adding two new CDN Points of Presence (PoPs). In Q2, 2007, Internap unveiled plans to expand its network infrastructure in Asia, Europe and the UK. The company established a London CDN PoP in Q3, 2007 by expanding its existing facilities in London and Amsterdam. Today’s announcement complements the current Asia data center and IP offerings and is fully integrated with Internap’s global data center and network infrastructure, allowing Internap to be the first company to provide bundled service offerings in Asia and as part of a global solution. The new CDN PoPs improve the speed and delivery of customer traffic, optimizing performance for rich-media applications and enabling Internap to better service its clients from more locations worldwide. The build-out of Internap’s global CDN enhances access to its Private Network Access Point (P-NAP™) architecture, which provides intelligent management of network traffic routes to improve the performance of Web-based applications. The expansion initiative, completed on-time and in scheduled phases over the last eight months, reflects Internap’s engineering excellence and strengthens its service availability. These new PoPs, along with the company’s 100 percent Service Level Agreement (SLA) for both its CDN and Performance IPTM offerings, position Internap as a premier provider of content and application delivery services for enterprises across Asia, Europe and North America. “Internap’s disciplined, careful planning and engineering expertise has enabled us to meet our previously-set goal of expanding our CDN to better meet the needs of our customers around the globe,” said James P. DeBlasio, president and chief executive officer for Internap. “Our newest PoPs allow us to deliver a redundant, highly-scalable CDN platform for enterprises seeking superior performance. This milestone expands our market opportunity by increasing the capacity of our CDN, positioning Internap as a leader in the space.” NetMax Media, which is emerging as one of the world’s largest IPTV platform providers, is an Internap CDN customer based in Atlanta, GA with satellite offices in Mohali, Chennai and Mumbai in India.
