relationship with IT Channel Group, a leading technology sales and
marketing agency in Canada. IT Channel Group will support sales of

its ability to reach a broad range of ISVs, value added resellers and

application performance issues. The appliances are ideal solutions for
companies across a variety of industries, such as retail, gaming,

reliable use of the Internet.
"Many potential resellers and partners are beginning to embrace
the benefits of route-control and WAN optimization technology, but are
unsure where to start," said David Abrahamson, vice president of
global sales, Internap. "As business needs continue to converge around
integrating the Internet into business processes, Internap is
dedicated to working closely with IT Channel, not just on new customer
acquisitions, but also to increase awareness of how route-control
technologies can transform the Internet into a viable platform for
businesses."

and are ideal for IT Channels strategy to expand into a new,
innovative IP territory," said Richard Bryer, IT Channel Group. "This
