Internap Featured in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 as One of Georgia’s Fastest Growing Technology Companies

Honored for second consecutive year; credits growth to quality employees, loyal customers and unique market position

ATLANTA, GA - October 16, 2007

Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a global provider of end-to-end Internet business solutions, has been recognized by Deloitte & Touche LLP as one of Georgia’s fastest growing technology companies in percentage of revenue growth. It is the second year in a row that Internap has earned this recognition.  

James DeBlasio, Internap’s president and chief executive officer, attributes the 37 percent revenue growth during the qualifying period to the company’s high-quality employees, its loyal base of 3,400+ customers and its unique position as a supplier of bundled Internet solutions. 

Ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in the state is based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2002-2006. To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2002 and $5,000,000 in 2006, be headquartered in Georgia, and own proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company’s operating revenues, or devotes a significant portion of revenues to the research and development of technology.
