(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Enterprise hosting and application and content delivery services provider NaviSite (www.navisite.com) has partnered with global content delivery services provider EdgeCast Networks (www.edgecast.com) to develop a new content delivery portfolio on EdgeCast’s CDN platform, using NaviSite’s new content delivery portfolio including a mix of CDN-based services such as caching, electronic file delivery, rich media streaming, web portal and API tools, auto provisioning, real-time reporting, and continuous support.
After evaluating many CDN providers, according to NaviSite’s announcement Wednesday, NaviSite finally chose EdgeCast because of the company’s experience and expertise in enabling organizations to quickly and reliably deliver digital content including video, music, games and live streaming to end users worldwide.
Across its global network of 14 points of presence, EdgeCast’s CDN platform features global load balancing, and advanced reporting and analytics, as well as faster and more efficient routing and easy provisioning. The new partnership will help NaviSite content delivery customers access faster, cheaper and more quality content delivery by automatically routing customers to the fastest POP.
“In today’s digital world, businesses need to deliver all kinds of content to users spread around the world: a challenging task,” NaviSite chief technology officer Denis Martin said in a statement. “Organizations today need to move past traditional content delivery networks and service providers that cannot handle the load, the latest formats, or the distances, or offer efficient management and reporting tools. Our new set of CDN offerings based on EdgeCast platform gives our customers an up-to-date, cost-effective, speedy solution, freeing them from their content delivery worries.”
All NaviSite’s current hosting services and data centers are supported by its new EdgeCast capabilities, and new customers can purchase a customized version of the service with additional features, which can be provisioned within a few hours.
“For more than a decade, NaviSite has led the industry in providing organizations, large and small, with superior hosting and application delivery solutions,” EdgeCast co-founder and president James Segil said in a statement. “By adding the EdgeCast content delivery network to their portfolio of offerings, NaviSite is again showing its customers that it is serious about fast, reliable content delivery whether it’s around the corner or around the world. We’re very excited that NaviSite chose our technology and our network to power this new suite of offerings.”
In late December, IT hosting provider ThePlanet.com (www.theplanet.com) selected EdgeCast to provide the basis of The Planet’s new hosted CDN offerings.
