Internap Network Services (IIP) has announced plans to expand market coverage by creating a Private Network Access Point (P-NAP) in Toronto. The expansion is part of the Atlanta-based company's growth strategy and marks its entrance into the Canadian market. Internap currently serves customers via international locations in Hong Kong, London, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo and multiple U.S. cities. The new Toronto P-NAP facility, expected for completion in the fourth quarter of 2006, will mirror the architecture used within the U.S., which directs traffic across multiple backbones for the fastest and best performing route. Canadian customers will be able to connect to a P-NAP via local loop or cross-connect within the same colocation space to gain access to Internap's reliable and optimized IP service to avoid congestion problems, performance degradations and outages.
