Internap delivers services through its 50 service points across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Internap Private Network Access Points, or P-NAPs, feature multiple direct high-speed connections to major Internet networks including AT&T Inc., Sprint Nextel Corporation, Verizon Communications Inc., Savvis, Inc., Global Crossing Limited, and Level 3 Communications, Inc.
The key characteristic that differentiates Internap from its competitors is a portfolio of patented and patent-pending route-optimization solutions that address the inherent weaknesses of the Internet and overcome the inefficiencies of traditional IP connectivity options. Its intelligent routing technology can facilitate traffic over multiple carriers, as opposed to just one carrier’s network, to ensure highly reliable performance over the Internet.
The Internap Service Level Agreements guarantee performance across the entire Internet in the United States, excluding local connections, whereas providers of conventional Internet connectivity typically only guarantee performance on their own network.
Internap operates in three business segments: IP services, data center services and CDN services.
