Continues Expansion with Opening of PNAP Facility

InterNAP Network Services Corporation (Nasdaq: INAP) today announced the opening of its Private Network Access Point, or P-NAP(R), facility to bring faster, more reliable Internet service to businesses in Atlanta.

InterNAP's connectivity service routes customer data to and from destinations on the Internet in a manner that minimizes data loss by avoiding the Internet's conventional traffic exchange process known as "peering." InterNAP's P-NAP facility and ASsimilator(TM) technology orchestrate the routing of mission-critical data in a faster, more reliable, more managed fashion than conventional Internet technology.

"Businesses that place a mission-critical reliance upon the speed and reliability of their Internet access will receive the most benefit from InterNAP's service," said Tony Naughtin, InterNAP's President and CEO. "Through our new P-NAP facility, Atlanta businesses can bypass the Internet's peering points that often lead to slow downloads and data loss."

InterNAP services are currently available in New York, San Jose, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago and other cities. Major e-commerce companies and networks served by InterNAP include Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), Datek Online, Go2Net, ITXC, The NASDAQ, TheStreet.com (NASDAQ: TSCM), WebTV and many others.
