Content Delivery Providers

Content Delivery Providers

Nearly every service provider knows the pain of trying to grow revenues while cutting spending in the face of exploding competition. Many services have already become commodities, but Content Delivery Network (CDN) providers still have a critical window of opportunity—if they can be first or best in new geographic markets.

But global build outs don’t come cheap, or fast. To stake a competitive lead, CDNs must extend their existing infrastructure investments to more markets, in little or no time, while maintaining the high quality of service that customers demand.

Big Blueprint, Same Footprint

Leading providers like Thomson Technicolor and other Content Delivery Networks use the FastSoft Internet Accelerators to optimize services, extend their competitive reach and achieve better return on existing infrastructure investments. E Series lets CDNs:

  • “Branch out” with no build out: Content delivery providers can expand into new markets without having to build regional Points of Presence (POPs) to cache or deliver content closer to customers. They can serve new customers in distant markets from existing POPs and meet end-user quality expectations with E Series speeding content delivery 300% or more;
  • Achieve a smarter “POPulation”: FastSoft accelerators can be used within a service provider network to speed the ingestion of content, as well as the population of digital content throughout storage and delivery server networks. This helps bring new customers on board faster, and optimizes the use of existing bandwidth;
  • Better leverage peering relationships: Being able to distribute content between regions more cost-effectively lets providers take fuller advantage of savings derived through ISP peering relationships;
  • Go the extra mile: FastSoft accelerates traffic across the first and last miles as well as the WAN. With customers placing a premium on speed when choosing providers, being better able to impact the last mile proves a steep advantage.

The Bottom Line

Better quality. Better margins. Higher revenues and retention. More traffic, in more places, fast and with fewer POPs.
