InterNAP has made a science out of developing technologies,
techniques and services to deliver Internet packet data from point
to point in the fastest and most reliable way possible, using
existing Internet backbone infrastructure.
InterNAP's solution to slow Internet performance is the P-NAP
(Private Network Access Point). The P-NAP largely bypasses the
public NAPs and private peering points, sending customer data
along the shortest, most direct path across the Internet.
P-NAP customers in effect ?cut ahead in line? - bypassing the
often-congested public exchanges and private peering points -
past other data being transferred across conventional Internet
infrastructure.
The P-NAP sends customer data out the correct Internet
backbone immediately, right at our P-NAP, rather than at a
randomly chosen public NAP or private peering point like other
Internet access providers. For InterNAP customers, the
optimizing effect of our proprietary network architecture and
advanced routing technologies dramatically boost performance in
both directions.
Utilizing our proprietary network architecture and advanced
routing technologies, we are able to route, or transfer, data to and
from businesses that are connected to one or more of our
P-NAPs, in a manner that minimizes the use of congested public
exchanges and private peering points. This optimal routing of data
traffic over the multiplicity of networks that comprise the Internet
enables higher transmission speeds, lower instances of data
packet loss and greater quality of service.
INTERNAP TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE
While this sounds simple, none of this would be possible were it
not for two extremely unique ingredients:
the most direct, full transit connectivity to major global
Internet backbones and
proprietary network architecture and advanced routing
technologies.
The direct connections into major global Internet backbones
include OC3 and DS3 connections to UUNet, Sprint, Cable &
Wireless, GTE (BBN), Digex (Intermedia), PSINet, AT&T, Verio
and MindSpring (Netcom). These connections are not free public
or private peering, instead InterNAP pays each of these
backbones for full transit TCP/IP connectivity. This economic
relationship between InterNAP and the major backbones provides
our customers with something that private and public peering
relationships cannot offer: a differentiated quality of service.
This model is an industry first: InterNAP customers receive fast,
reliable and centrally managed Internet connectivity services that
maximize the performance of their mission-critical Internet-based
applications.
While this is an industry first and managing these multiple transit
connections requires extremely advanced BGP4 routing
expertise, these multiple connections alone offer very little
improvement in Internet performance when using conventional
routing technology.
AN INTELLIGENT ROUTE
This is why InterNAP developed an intelligent routing and route
management technology specifically designed to directly deliver
customer data to and from destinations across the public
Internet in a faster more reliable manner. We call this technology
ASsimilator. The ASsimilator technology is a combination of
proprietary software modules and route management tools that
extend and enhance the BGP4 routing protocol. This technology
enables the P-NAP to make far more intelligent decisions than
standard BGP4 routing is capable of making.
ASsimilator allows the P-NAP to make intelligent routing
decisions, such as choosing the faster of multiple backbones to
route data if the destination is multi-homed.
In addition, P-NAP customers are largely unaffected by global
Internet backbone outages due to ASsimilator?s ability to re-route
data via the next best path available, utilizing the P-NAPs
extensive diversity to the global Internet backbones.
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
InterNAP customers receive fast, reliable and centrally
managed Internet connectivity services that maximize the
performance of their mission-critical Internet-based applications.
* The P-NAP, and its ASsimilator technology are proprietary
and patent-pending
