Web Host News – ATLANTA – Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a global provider of end-to-end Internet business solutions, today announced it has successfully completed the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70) Type II audit for its company-controlled data centers.

Web Hosting Wire – ATLANTA – Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a global provider of end-to-end Internet business solutions, today announced enhancements to its Content Delivery Network (CDN) offering, including new ease-of-use functions and automation of key CDN capabilities. Exclusively delivered with Internap’s Performance IP™ service – which ensures optimal video delivery across the Internet – these enhancements deliver an intelligent video streaming solution that simplifies and automates content creation, management and reporting with the highest quality end user experience.

According to comScore’s Video Metrix service, during the month of September 2009, more than 84.8% of the total U.S. Internet audience watched online video, and the average online viewer watched 9.8 hours of video. As more organizations look to adopt video CDNs as part of their marketing strategy and business operations, they also face cost and complexity challenges associated with delivering high-quality content across an increasingly diverse device landscape of PCs, netbooks and mobile phones. Additionally, as video usage broadens beyond the user-generated content and over-the-top media and entertainment markets and becomes a core enterprise tool for communicating with business-critical audiences – such as employees, customers, investors and partners – ensuring the highest quality experience to those consumers by overcoming issues of network latency, congestion and downtime are also becoming key CDN requirements.

Hosting News – ATLANTA - Global Net Access, LLC (GNAX), today announced a new partnership with Internap. After successful testing, GNAX will utilize Internap for a 10GB IP connection to increase performance and redundancy within its Gold Network. The company is a leading provider of co-location in the Southeast U.S. and one of the leading providers of outsourced managed and unmanaged servers in the world.

GNAX will use an existing dark fiber route purchased from AGL Networks of Atlanta and will work with the engineering team to engineer a solution that traverses a different path than GNAX’s current fiber to its providers . “This path completely avoids Telx at 56 Marietta Street, which is the current termination point of the GNAX metro Ethernet networks,” Hinkle said. “The new fiber terminates at Internap’s 250 Williams Street facility and provides both increased redundancy and capacity. This is unique to most of the data centers in the region- especially in the city of Atlanta. Many have a ring or multiple paths – but like we were constructed in the past – they all come back to one single-point-of-failure facility.”

Thousands of software-driven companies are releasing APIs in order to become Software as a Service (SaaS) providers, either as a primary or secondary line of business. Although every API is different, the infrastructure to manage them includes the same set of challenges for most providers.
