Perfect World Renews Colocation and Performance IP™ Services in INAP's Boston Data Center

ATLANTA, July 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Internap Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a provider of high-performance Internet infrastructure including Colocation, Network and Managed Services, and Cloud Services, and Perfect World, a leading North American online games publisher, specializing in immersive free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG), today announced a multi-year renewal agreement for colocation and IP services at INAP's Boston data center.

Due to the predictable demand by end-users, INAP's high-power density colocation footprint in Boston will continue to be utilized for the development and hosting of Perfect World's online games. In addition to INAP colocation, Perfect World utilizes INAP's bare-metal AgileSERVER to scale their infrastructure based on month-to-month demand for their hero shooter, Gigantic. INAP's Performance IP will continue to be utilized across Perfect World's infrastructure to provide low latency – a top priority for a gaming company. INAP's products and services, as purchased by Perfect World, demonstrate how a bundled infrastructure can be utilized to serve various clients' needs – in this case, to serve different games to their audiences and flex their infrastructure based on demand.

Overall, Perfect World chose INAP due to the top-quality service they receive at a competitive price. In fact, during their long partnership with INAP, Perfect World has not experienced downtime in 5+ years. Additionally, Performance IP provides them with less than 80 milliseconds of latency without needing a presence in all the markets their users are located.

"We are pleased to continue our partnership with Perfect World," said Corey Needles, INAP COLO's SVP and General Manager. "Companies in the gaming sector recognize INAP's high-performance data center services can provide them with the flexibility, availability and low latency required to ensure the best gamer experience."

"INAP's high-quality service helps us to provide excellent gameplay experiences to our customers," said Zheng Zeng, Perfect World Entertainment's Director of Network Operations. "We were able to build out and keep expanding our highly available and scalable gaming backend infrastructure based on INAP's reliable IP, colocation and bare-metal services."
