Network Services Corp., a global provider of Internet business solutions, announced that it is providing managed server hosting services for Mashery, a cloud-based API (Application Programming Interface) infrastructure management company.
The companies noted that Mashery will use Internap's managed-server infrastructure as a backup solution for both standard and enterprise service customers.
"Despite, and perhaps driven by, a sluggish economy, Mashery has seen rapid growth. Best Buy, MTV, New York Times and Netflix are among a growing list of industry leaders relying on Mashery to manage their APIs," said Oren Michels, Mashery Co-founder and CEO. "We chose Internap after an extensive business and technical vetting process. We found the company had the most robust set of MSP services combined with outstanding SLAs - both of which were prerequisites for Mashery and our premium-service customers."
In 2008, Internap expanded its managed-server offering to a global footprint, which according to officials was a factor in the bid for the Mashery business.
