SEATTLE, April 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Internap Network Services (Nasdaq:
INAP),
the leading provider of intelligent routing services for the Internet, today
announced that Bang Networks(TM) (http://www.bangnetworks.com), the provider
of
real-time Internet services, is using Internap to deliver routing
efficiency,
speed and reliable quality of service to Bang's customers. Launching today,
Bang Networks is also announcing the availability of its DirectPath(TM)
service.
"We share Bang's vision of taking the Internet to the next level; one
that
uses routing optimization to increase the efficiency of the Internet and,
more
importantly, create a more compelling and valuable user experience," said
Tony
Naughtin, President and CEO of Internap Network Services.
"Internap's unique approach to Internet connectivity compliments our
laser
focus on routing information in real-time," said Tim Tuttle, founder and CTO
of Bang Networks. "Working with Internap enables us to deliver the
exceptional and reliable user experience our customers demand."
Bang Networks has designed technology to bypass the inherent limitations
of the Web. It does so through its global, intelligent routing network that
maintains live, open connections with millions of Web browsers, thus
allowing
the most current information available to flow continuously into users' open
browsers. Additionally, the Bang Networks' DirectPath(TM) service greatly
increases its customers' efficiency by reducing server strain because it
selectively updates the new bits of information, i.e., stock quotes or
auction
prices, as they become available, eliminating the need to reload entire
pages.
Internap is the leading provider of intelligent routing services. Its
Overlay Network monitors the traffic situation over all the major Internet
backbones and routes mission-critical data in a faster, more reliable and
more
managed fashion than conventional Internet technology.
