DBSI Implements Internap Technology to Further Optimize Internet Performance and Contain Costs for Customers
Flow Control Platform technology optimizes network, improves speed, reliability and customer experience
BETHLEHEM, PA, August 27, 2007 - DBSi, a leading regional provider of high availability disaster recovery, business continuity and secure managed hosting services, announced implementation of Flow Control Platform (FCP) technology from Internap (NASDAQ: INAP), a provider of choice for fast, reliable Internet business solutions. Designed to dynamically improve network performance, response time and contain costs, Internap€™s FCP technology supports DBSi€™s mission of continually seeking ways to improve the customer experience. The benefits of this technology will be provided to existing DBSi clients at no additional cost.
€śInternap€™s robust technology and suite of services enables customers like DBSi to continuously improve on exceptional service,€ť said Tim Sullivan, chief technology officer for Internap. €śAs a result of implementing Internap€™s FCP solutions, DBSi is averaging a 40 percent improvement in latency achieved on an already well-tuned and optimized network.€ť
Internap€™s technology empowers DBSi to determine the best Internet routes in real-time, enabling automated, intelligent routing, as opposed to the manual, reactive approach taken by many service providers. Through the use of products like Internap€™s FCP, DBSi is able to continue the explosive growth experienced for the past three years.
€śThe Internet is not a static environment,€ť said Chris Black, director of IT and service delivery, DBSi. €śInternap is enabling DBSi to implement self-managed intelligent computing at the network level. This automated technology collects network information, analyzes the data to determine the best route and implements those decisions in real-time. The solution is completely transparent to our customers, who truly benefit from the result. This is the equivalent of knowing where all the traffic jams are on the highway and knowing every alternative route as well as the status of each of those routes prior to taking them and then directing traffic to the best route.€ť
Internap€™s FCP technology is a customizable solution that can be configured to route based on cost, performance and application. Scalable to 40Gbps and known for improving transfer speeds, the FCP also features robust reporting tools for tracking comprehensive network performance data over multiple service providers.
