Zeus Technology and Internap Challenge Traditional Application Delivery Through Strategic Alliance
Agreement creates unique offering to improve performance at network and application level
Internap Network Services Corp. (AMEX: IIP), a leading provider of performance-based routing solutions over the Internet, announced today that it is entering into a strategic alliance with Zeus Technology, the award-winning innovative application traffic management software developer. The two companies will jointly market their products throughout the UK and North America in to meet the growing demand for performance improvement at both the application and network level. To launch the relationship, Internap and Zeus have released a white paper titled 'Reinventing Global Application Delivery'.
According to research published by Boston Consulting Group, an estimated 28% of Web users not returning to a company's site if it doesn't perform sufficiently1. The finding supports online retailers' need to optimize performance to increase the number of transactions they can process with their existing IT infrastructure. Using their respective expertise in intelligent network route control and application infrastructure management, Internap and Zeus are offering a solution by challenging traditional delivery of applications across the Internet.
One joint customer, a leading US online retailer, is already reaping the benefits of this partnership. With Zeus' traffic management solution enabling Apache optimization the company can effectively scale servers to handle application traffic peaks. Meanwhile, the Internap® routing technology enables the organization to get more out of the Internet and allow users to avoid degradation in service or performance.
"Our customers' experiences show just how critical it is for businesses to have the best performance both at the application and network levels. Unfortunately addressing only one does not solve the customer's dilemma," commented Paul Di Leo, CEO at Zeus Technology. "By joining forces with Internap, we can offer a complete solution and that means bringing something unique to the market. The more that business transactions move onto the Web, the more of a must-have this joint offer will become."
"Our alliance with Zeus Technology has enormous potential," said Daniel Beazer, general manager, Internap UK. "Zeus is one of the most innovative and well-regarded technology companies in the UK and brings additional value to our core offerings. Similarly, the Internap technology complements Zeus and creates a value proposition that any company doing business on the Web should consider."
