enterprise IP services
ATLANTA, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Internap Network Services
Corporation (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(TM) network. Internap's IT Infrastructure portfolio delivers the flexibility,
capacity and performance requirements needed to meet the demands of YouSendIt's
rapidly growing customer base.
YouSendIt provides a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based collaboration solution to
more than 20 million registered users worldwide. The massive growth in
collaborative applications - expected to reach $14 billion by 2015, according to
research firm IDC - is fueling YouSendIt's momentum, driving more than one
million new registered users each month. Seeking a highly flexible and customized
solution that better supports its evolving global infrastructure needs, YouSendIt
recently switched its European data center operations to Internap.
"We chose Internap because of its unique ability to offer the complete, holistic
IT Infrastructure package that we were looking for, which balances flexibility,
superior support and cost effectiveness," said Paul Massie, senior director of
operations and IT at YouSendIt. "With Internap, we have the necessary control
over our infrastructure and the ability to quickly scale that infrastructure as
our business grows. This flexibility is backed by the performance and high
reliability our users demand."
YouSendIt is using Internap's managed hosting solution and route-optimized
Performance IP network to maintain data for its European customers and meet file
transfer performance requirements for users across Europe. 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. "Organizations like YouSendIt
are turning to Internap based on our ability to offer a full range of IT
platforms to meet their current and future needs, underpinned by high-performance
connectivity solutions that deliver best performance to their end users."
Internap's enterprise IT Infrastructure offering includes secure, scalable
