INAP Signs Customized Colocation and Network Agreement in the Company's Flagship Dallas Data Center

ATLANTA, April 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Internap Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), ("INAP" or the "Company"), a provider of high-performance Internet infrastructure including Colocation, Cloud, and Network Services, today announced a multi-year agreement with a large worldwide data networking and telecommunications equipment leader for customized colocation and network services in INAP's Dallas facility.  

In making its selection through a rigorous competitive process, INAP's Dallas location, which recently earned EPA's ENERGY STAR® Certification for Superior Energy Efficiency, was chosen given its clear superiority in redundancy in power, network, and security. These factors and the necessary certifications and compliance requirements allow INAP to meet the mission critical network management needs of clients being hosted in its Dallas facility.

"We are committed to providing superior service to our VIP customer throughout this agreement to demonstrate our world-class data center services with one of the largest telecom equipment and network services providers in the world," said Corey Needles, INAP Colo's General Manager. "We look forward to applying our extensive expertise to help our customer continue to meet its strategic objectives as a worldwide information technology leader."

This deal was successfully brokered by Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, a Cantor Fitzgerald Company. According to Bryan Loewen, Executive Managing Director, Data Center Consulting Group, "This partnership was developed over several months in order to ensure that both supplier and customer could meet the demands of current market conditions for redundancy, power, and security.  INAP's Dallas facility with its team is a perfect match, and we are extremely excited to build on this relationship."

Design and construction of a custom network are already in progress, as INAP engineering and operations make this build a high priority. INAP Dallas was selected as the customer's preferred location given its stable and robust external environment, coupled with INAP's state-of-the-art colocation facilities. In fact, the center sits on one of the highest priority locations of the Texas power grid, as well as in a low disaster risk zone alongside mission-critical medical locations and secure transaction processing centers.
