Internap Network Services Strengthens Management Team with Senior VP Marketing

ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a global provider of
end-to-end Internet business solutions, announced Peter M. Evans has joined the
company today as the Senior Vice President of Marketing. In making the
announcement, Internap President and CEO, Eric Cooney, noted the addition of
Evans was a key step in the plan to build a strong leadership team and position
Internap for long-term profitable growth.

Most recently, Evans served as Director of Technology and Market Strategy for
IBM`s Internet Security Systems Division, Chief Technology Office. Evans was the
Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at Internet Security Systems (ISS) prior to it
being acquired by IBM for $1.5 billion. His leadership - turning ISS into a more
market-driven organization - was a key part of the company`s evolution and
substantial growth.

Evans started his career with Nortel Networks. During that time, he led the
startup of the long distance voice switching and Voice over IP (VoIP) switching
business, the data sales organization and the launch of several other major
networking data products and services. He has also worked in a variety of
technology startups, including as CEO of his own company, all of which had
successful track records and exits.

"Peter is clearly a seasoned global marketing executive. He brings to Internap
invaluable experience in areas including: corporate branding, marketing
communications and aligning strategy and product roadmaps," Cooney said.

"We were attracted to Peter`s strong track record as a team player who has
helped to build successful technology and customer service driven businesses
leveraging both organic and M&A growth strategies. He has held General
Management and head of Sales roles and has operated as an executive in both
large corporate and early stage companies. Peter and I share a common view on
strategies for growth and the long-term opportunities for Internap," Cooney
added.

Evans holds undergraduate degrees in applied mathematics and computer sciences
from Queen`s University, Ontario, Canada, and a Masters of Business
Administration (MBA) from York University, Toronto.
