Last Tuesday (on February 7, 2012), CDNetworks, the only multinational Content Delivery Network provider that has local infrastructure in six continents including mainland China, announced that it has entered in a strategic alliance with Hong Kong Broadband Network Limited (HKBN) to improve the web experience for Hong Kong’s growing online audience.
As part of the deal, CDNetworks will optimize the international transit links of HKBN by leveraging its global network, and improve the application performance and web content delivery by fetching the content and bringing it near the visitor. With its advanced caching solutions, CDNetworks will also reduce the CDN traffic for the service providers by as much as 95 percent. Apart from this, since CDNetworks already has a strong presence in the APAC region, it was the logical choice for HKBN, Hong Kong’s fastest growing broadband service provider.
Both CDNetworks and HKBN were happy with the deal, which will allow better Internet services and faster content delivery to Hong Kong-based traffic.

Today (on October 19, 2011), CDNetworks, the only multinational Content Delivery Networks provider that has local expertise and infrastructure in six continents, as well as special China support, announced that it was helping the easy-to-use website builder Jimdo, for providing high performance and reliability to their China and Japan based customers.
While Jimdo is based in Germany, it saw massive growth in China and hence came up with a Chinese version, which got more than 500 tests in first 3.5 hours of beta testing. The huge prospect of demand and the possible need to manage traffic peaks and spikes made Jimdo look out for a CDN partner, and that is when with its network reach in China and Asia and the specialized China Acceleration offering, CDNetworks seemed a logical choice to cater to the growing demand of Jimdo in China and Japan regions.

Last Tuesday (on August 30, 2011), CDNetworks, the only multinational Content Delivery Network provider with local expertise in all six continents along with China, announced that it had joined hands with the OpenDNS initiative to speed up the Internet. This initiative is aimed at improving the performance of the websites by reducing the time taken for DNS lookup.
The OpenDNS initiative includes various players including fellow CDN provider EdgeCast Networks and Google in a joint bid to improve performance. To reduce the lookup time, the new method will be sending some part of the IP address of the visitor as a part of the lookup initial DNS request to get better and more accurate information about the user’s physical location.

This Tuesday (on August 16, 2011), CDNetworks, the only multinational Content Delivery Network provider with PoP in six continents, along with presence in China, announced its expansion in the Middle East Asia. As part of this expansion, CDNetworks has added its Points-of-Presence in Iraq, Israel and Saudi Arabia to help the local businesses in the regions.
CDNetworks mentioned that while the local businesses wanted to have faster performance, the lack of proper peering solution providers, local expertise and government support had made it difficult for the Companies to improve performance for their Middle-Eastern traffic. The addition of the new locations, including Iraq shows the goal of CDNetworks to reach out and help their customers in having better performance in all parts of the globe.
The Company mentioned that these PoP locations were added by providing a fully outsources service on their expanded CDN and it was extremely excited about the prospects of reaching out to a wider market with its Web Performance Suite and global network.
