Internap Exploring Strategic Alternatives

ATLANTA – September 1, 2015 – Internap Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a provider of high-performance Internet infrastructure services, today announced that the Company is exploring strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value.

“Internap is well positioned in an industry that is rapidly consolidating,” said Michael Ruffolo, president and chief executive officer of Internap. “We have been consulting with our advisors regarding industry developments and Internap’s unique assets and market position. Regardless of the outcome of the process, we remain singularly focused on providing our customers with high-performance infrastructure solutions and building trusted customer relationships.”
