Internap Network Services Corporation (AMEX:IIP), a
leading provider of performance-based routing solutions over the
Internet, today announced it will deploy its Flow Control Platform(TM)
10 Gigabit-per-second (FCP 10G) network appliance "live" within the
InteropNet, the world's largest and diverse portable network. The
InteropNet is specifically designed, built and managed to support
Interop Las Vegas 2006, the leading trade show for enterprise IT and
converged IP networks taking place from April 30 to May 5, at the
Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Internap network engineers are also
part of the team building and managing InteropNet and will participate
in the free engineer-led tours from the InteropNet Network Operations
Center (NOC).
The FCP is a premise-based route control appliance that sits
within the two-tier 10Gb/s core InteropNet network to improve the
performance of its multi-homed environment. The device allows network
managers to proactively identify and choose the best performing paths
for Internet traffic, while balancing a combination of cost and
performance metrics such as price-per-MB and burst capability. The FCP
also allows dynamic bandwidth allocation between MarquisNet and Qwest,
the 2006 InteropNet Internet Service Providers.
Internap testing revealed that nearly 35% of Internet traffic
used paths of insufficient quality and would benefit from route
control technology like the FCP, which addresses latency and packet
loss. The FCP 10G will implement route changes in real-time to
optimize the bandwidth required to support a variety of IP networking
technologies showcased during the show. This high volume of network
traffic will include voice, data and video generated by:
-- Over 375 exhibitors on the show floor who will benefit from
dedicated upstream Internet access of up to 10Gb/s.
-- Performance testing of Open Source Software, Network Access
Control and VoIP, and Security and Integration products and
technologies at InteropLabs, the world's only real-time live
interoperability test bed for the latest vendor-neutral,
standards-based networking solutions.
-- 350 press and analysts who will continuously file reports,
reviews and updates on the latest technologies via web sites,
blogs, streaming video podcasts, image galleries, and RSS
feeds.
"For 20 years, Interop has held a unique place in the IP
infrastructure markets, and is responsible for fostering the
innovation that has fueled the revolution and evolution in IP
networking," said Lenny Heymann, Interop General Manager. "It's
critical that we guarantee high performance and availability of our IP
network since exhibitors and attendees from all over the world will
need to access various IP addresses on-the-fly over the global public
Internet," he added.
"Our FCP minimizes latency by overcoming the limitations of
standard BGP for sites that are multi-homed, and supports the
high-bandwidth needs of next generation applications," said Eric
Klinker, chief technology officer, Internap. "When performance is
critical, the FCP's route control technology can handle the real-time
demands of tough, high traffic environments like Interop."
Media interested in a behind-the-scenes look at the InteropNet or
reviewing an FCP demo can visit Internap at booth #2011. Brandon Ross,
Internap's director of network engineering and a 10-year networking
veteran at Interop, will participate in these free engineer-led tours
from the InteropNet NOC. Visit

The Flow Control Platform(TM) (FCP)
Deployed at the enterprise or service provider network edge, the
Internap(R) Flow Control Platform(TM) (FCP) appliance is the only
network appliance to intelligently route IP traffic across multiple
Internet Service Provider (ISP) connections in real time by
continuously monitoring end-to-end network performance. Additionally,
by conforming to user-defined performance and cost policies, the FCP
appliance enables customers to intelligently load balance and optimize
their networks, typically reducing bandwidth costs by 20 to 50
percent, and lowering latency by an average of 35 percent while
minimizing risk in the event of a carrier outage or brownout. The
FCP's measurement capability gives customers better performance, fewer
network incidents, sophisticated load balancing and easier
troubleshooting, which enables successful deployment of "one-to-many"
applications such as e-commerce, CRM, hosting, trading/clearing and
all real-time traffic such as VoIP, video and collaboration. The FCP
product line includes highly scalable solutions for IP traffic flow
optimization flows of any size, from the largest content provider
sites and enterprise networks, to remote branch offices and
small-to-medium sized sites that are new to multi-homing. The FCP 10G
model is ideal for improving the reliability of business-critical
applications and content-driven sites with large distributed user
bases, such as online social networking communities and e-commerce
merchants.
