Internap to Open High Performance Data Center in L.A.

Internap Network Services Corporation will open a new data center in Los Angeles to serve increased demand for premium colocation. Internap's new Los Angeles data center will include 55,000 square feet of premium net sellable data center footprint over time.



The new facility will be Internap's eleventh company-controlled facility in its eighth North American market and continues the company's strategy to build a geographically diversified platform of premium data centers serving customers' high-performance IT Infrastructure needs.



"According to Tier 1 Research, the utilization of colocation space available in the Los Angeles area exceeds 90%," said Mike Higgins, senior vice president of data center services at Internap. "Explosive growth in demand from the city's media and entertainment, aerospace, technology, petroleum and finance industries has outstripped limited data center supply. With the addition of Los Angeles to our portfolio, Internap is able to provide these growing enterprises with data center space that can be tailored to their specific IT Infrastructure needs – from colocation, managed hosting and cloud services to high-performance enterprise IP and Content Delivery Network services – and can quickly scale to support their business growth requirements."http://www.internap.com
