Read excerpts from the video:
“Because of our network of satellites we’re able to re-image faster than anyone else. Take for example in the event of a disaster like the Haiti Earthquake or the Gulf Oil Spill. We’re able to provide refresh images in less than 24 hours. We’re the first eyes on the scene in the case of a disaster…
Internap has been a great partnership out of the gate. We’re largely new at this…creating this cloud offering, we’re building it out as we speak, so there were the obvious reasons, their IP and our needs were one thing, but what I really recommend is how responsive Internap has been. They are growing, they’re interested in where we’re going and they’ve been exceptionally responsive to us as we’ve built out this infrastructure.”
