Today at Interop Las Vegas 2006, Internap Network
Services Corporation (AMEX:IIP), a leading provider of
performance-based routing solutions over the Internet, announces the
launch of its Application Assessment Service(TM), a comprehensive
offering designed to ensure that performance requirements of
mission-critical applications are aligned with business priorities and
underlying network capabilities. Offered through the Internap(R)
Professional Services Group, the service was developed in response to
Chief Information Officer's requests to better understand the causes
of application and network performance challenges. This includes
assessing end-to-end user response time and Internet performance, as
well as the ability to predict future implications of new applications
introduced to the network. Internap Professional Services will be on
hand to discuss benefits of the new service during Interop from May
2nd to 4th at booth # 2011.
"This is a logical next step for Internap, as it allows us to
combine our intellectual capital with the ability to implement
technologies from a diverse toolbox to give customers an integrated
view of their network and application performance," said David
Abrahamson, vice president of sales, Internap. "Internap knows the
performance side of the Internet like no other company, which makes us
ideally qualified to assess and remediate issues to help customers
gain a higher ROI from network and IT resources."
Bridging the Gap: Analysis to Implementation
Executed by a team of expert Solutions Architects, application
assessments provide CIOs with customized technical metrics, as well as
information required to understand multi-dimensional network and
application issues. In addition to the discovery and analysis process,
Internap will also provide the expertise to help remediate and
implement solutions that best meet the customer's individual business
needs including:
-- End-End Response Time- In-depth analysis of various elements
impacting application performance such as inefficient code,
usage, configuration and server workload distribution. This
provides a complete and objective picture across multiple IT
functions.
-- IP Networks and/or WANs- Detailed recommendations to improve
capacity utilization eliminate routing errors and address
conditions such packet loss that can degrade application
performance.
-- Operational Best Practices- Improve training, design, planning
and optimization to improve efficiencies.
"Rarely is a business's most important application performing in
alignment with the priority needed by the business user," said David
Frigeri, director of technical services and co-chairman of the seventh
FCC Network Reliability and Interoperability Council's Public Data
Network Best Practices. "Internap Professional Services arms the CIO
with an independent analysis and recommendations on how to sustain
application performance levels for the long-term."
"There are three primary causes of the underlying infrastructure
not meeting business-user expectations," said Raymond Paquet, managing
vice president, Gartner. "These are human operational error,
application error and hard infrastructure failure of networks, servers
or power." Paquet added, "CIOs should consider using objective
partners who can provide an expanded view of the issues as well as
offer long-term solutions."
