The CDN Market is Changing Rapidly.

Are You Keeping Up & Do you Trust Your Vendor?
Our clients report increased confusion with all the new market suppliers

Rates have dropped more than usual, and early adopter features have become must-haves to not fall behind. If you’re operating in a 2015 mindset, you’re not only overpaying, but possibly hurting your brand with your clients with poor performance. We have a simple way to insure you are on track with the right provider/s at the value, including staying with your current vendor.

  • – Performance – milliseconds cost customers & revenue
  • – Security – DDoS, bots, unauthorized users
  • – Features – do you have strategies for mobile, rich media, fast content purge?
