Web Hosting Provider, Internap, Enters $15 Million Managed Services Agreement
Atlanta, Georgia - (The Hosting News) - July 30, 2007 - Internet performance network services company, Internap Network Services Corporation, has entered into a three-year business relationship with privately held data center facilities and managed services firm, Quality Technology Services (QualityTech).
Under terms of the agreement, Internap will be the preferred provider of content delivery network (CDN) services and the exclusive provider of IP connectivity services to all of QualityTech’s customers, including 350 recently acquired enterprise accounts. The contract represents revenues of approximately $15 million for value-added CDN and IP over the three-year term. This agreement is hoped to significantly strengthen Internap’s position as a leader in the Internet solutions category.
James P. DeBlasio, President and Chief Executive Officer of Internap remarked, ”This is one of the largest agreements in Internap’s history and another significant win in the CDN/IP space. QualityTech’s decision to select Internap for value-added Internet solutions validates our strategy of providing best-in-class, bundled solutions to meet the demands of enterprise customers. We are gratified that an increasing number of high quality service providers, like QualityTech, appreciate the highly differentiated approach inherent in Internap’s route optimized CDN and IP solutions. We look forward to providing the industry’s best service levels and technology solutions to QualityTech’s customers moving forward.”
Through Internap’s premium IP service, which uses Private Network Access Points (P-NAPs) to speed Internet traffic from one location to another, QualityTech’s customer traffic will avoid the congestion and bottlenecks of traditional single-carrier networks. The service includes proactive technical service and support - all backed by proactive Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for 100% uptime. Internap’s CDN is also the industry’s only global, high-capacity solution that takes advantage of this unique multi-carrier architecture. Both solutions benefit from Internap’s proprietary intelligent route control technology to ensure the consistent, reliable performance of mission-critical applications.
As part of the agreement, Internap will take down space in multiple QualityTech world-class data center facilities to help satisfy current and future market demand. QualityTech’s data centers feature industry-leading standards for security, environmental control and scalability. The infrastructure will support high power density deployments and is designed to provide maximum power and cooling up to 150 watts per square-foot. As a result, Internap can better meet the high power density needs of enterprises with increasingly complex applications, such as rich media and streaming video.
Mark Waddington, President of QualityTech remarked, ”With our recent growth, QualityTech was at a tipping point and needed to join forces with the right partner to enable our customers’ ability to reliably deploy mission-critical applications. As IP-based communications converge and the demand for networked services increases, our combined solution with Internap is a major step towards delivering the highest level of performance for our clients and supporting the unique requirements for emerging technologies such as streaming audio and video.”
