ATLANTA, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a provider of intelligent IT Infrastructure services, today announced that YouSendIt, Inc., a leader in cloud-based collaboration services, is leveraging Internap's managed hosting, scalable storage and global Performance IP™ network.

YouSendIt provides a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based collaboration solution to more than 20 million registered users worldwide.

Additionally, YouSendIt is using Internap's highly-scalable storage solution to support its new cloud collaboration service, announced earlier this week. Internap's storage solution provides flexible, elastic storage that can easily expand with YouSendIt's capacity needs.

"As global solution providers rapidly expand their businesses and services, their needs are becoming broader and more complex," said John Freimuth, vice president of business development and hosting at Internap.
