CDNetworks Announces Launch of New Acceleration Solution for Web-Based Applications

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 20131
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.
