To better manage increased video, voice (VoIP) and data office-to-office communications, Centerline is also upgrading its Internap Performance IP[TM] internet connectivity service to 10 Mbps Ethernet connections, as well as selecting colocation services at one of Internap's secure, fully-redundant data centers in Dallas, Texas “Dallas” redirects here.

For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle  is the biggest problem in video, since you can't just throw more bandwidth at a network to solve the problem; nor can the sequence in which packets arrive be controlled on an ISDN line. Prior to the installation of our Internap circuit in our New York office, jitter got so bad during one call that we had to switch to audio only. The latency on the packets originating from that office was in the triple digits," said Steve Carnes, managing director and chief information officer of Centerline.

"With video, speed is much more important than the size of the bandwidth pipe. Internap is great because it provides the best route overall to keep real-time video packets moving at the fastest speed over the least latent network. With Internap's Private Network Access Point (P-NAP) distribution model, Internap ties in to up to eight Tier1 access providers, so if one provider's network is flooded, it automatically routes over a different network," Carnes continued. "We now have incredible performance for video conferencing, voice and sharing documents over all-Internap circuits."

Optimized connectivity allows Centerline to use a high volume of video conferencing without disruptions, as well as Web-based applications that allow internal communication and collaboration, while keeping its bandwidth costs under control.

"Choosing Internap as Centerline's primary network provider for all office-to-office communications is yet another testament to the clarity, speed and performance of our IP network," said Tim Sullivan, chief technology officer for Internap. "The cost savings of telephone, video or Web conferencing are only one side of the equation. The other is the incredible performance our network can deliver," he added.

According to the Yankee Group, an independent technology research firm, the market for online conferencing or Web-based meetings has grown at a 30% clip for the last few years, reaching $500 million a year.
