CDNetworks Accelerates the Cloud with Launch of New Application Acceleration Solution
San Jose, Calif. – March 9, 2010 – CDNetworks, a top tier, full-service global content delivery network (CDN), today announced the launch of a new content delivery solution specifically designed for accelerating the middle mile for dynamic web-based applications. This provides a dramatic improvement to what can often be a very poor end-user experience caused by Internet latency in the middle mile, poor network performance, and inefficient protocols.
With the Software as a Service (SaaS) industry forecasted to reach $14B in 2013* Application Acceleration becomes a key tool for improving end-user experience and reducing total cost of ownership for companies that have mission-critical applications delivered to customers over the Internet. However, few CDNs offer a viable solution for accelerating the performance of these applications.
“Until now, customers had little or no choice when searching for an application acceleration solution provider,” said John Milburn, President of CDNetworks International. “Our solution provides equivalent or better performance, as well as greater efficiencies when compared to other application acceleration solutions, providing customers with real choice and significant value. We believe our new solution will have a considerable impact on the application acceleration marketplace.”
CDNetworks’ Application Acceleration solution accelerates web-based applications using high performance, industry standard TCP optimizations across the middle mile, dramatically reducing round trip times. Initial test trials with BETA customers have shown a 2X to 10X increase in the speed and performance of web-based applications using CDNetworks Application Acceleration as compared to non-accelerated applications.
