Internap Expands Availability of XIP Internet Traffic Accelerator
ATLANTA, April 4, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- News Highlights
Demand for faster content delivery drives Accelerated IP (XIP(TM)) expansion
across Internap's global data center footprint
Customers experience up to four times acceleration and report higher end-user
satisfaction
Growing customer adoption reflects industry shift towards
"Acceleration-as-a-Service"
XIP demo shows performance improvement in side-by-side "horse race"
Internap Network Services Corporation (INAP), a leading provider of IT
infrastructure services, today announced that Accelerated IP (XIP), a
service-based Internet traffic accelerator that improves performance of
enterprise web services and applications by up to four times, is now available
across the company's global data center footprint. XIP complements Internap's
Performance IP(TM) route-optimized network connectivity to deliver a superior
end-user experience via end-to-end network optimization.
As enterprises increasingly deliver dynamic content, applications and services
over the Internet, the performance of the underlying network has become a key
priority to support differentiation and drive growth. With its ability to deliver
mission-critical, latency-sensitive Internet content to geographically dispersed
users, XIP is achieving significant customer adoption.
Jolokia Networks, a provider of hosting, streaming and IT services, turned to
Internap to accelerate the delivery of cloud-based applications for customers
with a wide network of international end users. XIP has significantly reduced
latency and improved application performance for traffic between Jolokia's
hosting sites in Europe and North America, resulting in a 40% web page load time
improvement. Complete Jolokia case study available here.
"As a provider of both content delivery and hosting services, Jolokia serves a
customer base seeking to make Software-as-as-Service offerings more efficient,
scalable and cost-effective. XIP gives us a competitive edge by enabling a
best-in-class performance infrastructure that few companies can match," said Mark
Pace, co-founder and chief technology officer of Jolokia Networks. "XIP has
dramatically improved our network performance, offering our customers a more
reliable experience delivering dynamic content globally."
Concurrent (CCUR), a global leader in video and media data and advertising
solutions, also is using XIP to reduce latency for its globally distributed SaaS
customers. XIP has accelerated Concurrent's application transmission speeds by up
to four times. Requiring access to a high-performance, globally-distributed
network, Concurrent selected XIP for its flexible "Acceleration-as-a-Service"
model that enables Concurrent to virtually extend the reach of its U.S. Data
center and provide its customer with uninterrupted, reliable and timely service.
"Businesses today have officially entered the next phase of the Internet:
'acceleration.' Slow sites and poor web performance can have grave implications
for businesses. Even one second of latency can result in a 7% reduction of
customer conversion and lost revenue," said Amar Khan, vice president of IP
Services at Internap. "The adoption of XIP among our Performance IP customers is
clear evidence of the prioritization of acceleration. The high-performance
network is the competitive edge businesses require in today's content-driven
market."
On April 6, 2011, Internap will host a webinar, "What's your Network Riding On?"
Internap's Khan will address the benefits of TCP traffic acceleration, and
Jolokia CTO, Mark Pace, will discuss how XIP helped dramatically improve delivery
of rich media and file-based content for his customers.
