Atlanta, GA - July 28, 2008

Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a global provider of end-to-end Internet business solutions, and Reliance Globalcom, a division of Reliance Communications (NSE: RCOM.NS), one of the world’s largest integrated telecommunications services providers, announced today a strategic alliance to deliver a broad set of content delivery network (CDN) services in India.

The contract with Internap will enable Reliance Globalcom to enhance its managed services portfolio with world-class content delivery network services, enabling Indian businesses to add graphics, audio, streaming video and live events to their Web sites and Internet applications. Internap will engineer and build a CDN point of presence (PoP) in Mumbai and operate the network service point as part of its global CDN infrastructure. In addition, Internap will provide the professional services, project management and consulting expertise to deploy and launch enterprise-grade CDN infrastructure and services for Reliance Globalcom. The two companies will work together to sell and support these Reliance Globalcom services ‘powered by Internap CDN’ in selected regions.

Internap’s CDN solution, upon which the new Reliance Globalcom services are based, integrates media servers, enhanced storage, network acceleration and route optimization to deliver, manage and monetize media content. The global CDN infrastructure includes Internap’s patented MIRO (Managed Internet Routing OptimizerTM) and CDN Long Haul technologies. MIRO monitors the performance of Internet backbones and automatically selects the best path to global destinations. CDN Long Haul reduces network latency for global transit of large-scale applications and content. Internap’s CDN service is fully-managed and provides rich business intelligence, real-time statistics, digital rights management (DRM) and a performance dashboard through its MediaConsole®.
