(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web performance firm Yottaa announced on Monday that it has launched Yottaa CDN, its new CDN offering. Yottaa says it CDN delivers dynmamic site acceleration features at a fraction of the cost of other CDNs.
This news comes less than a week after CDN operator Akamai acquired performance optimization technology provider Blaze Software and named James Benson executive vice president and chief financial officer.
According to the press release, Yottaa CDN integrates with its Site Speed Optimizer so it makes it easier to enable than other CDN implementations and ensures faster load times. The Yottaa CDN features the company’s patented cloud-routing technology and is backed by a global infrastructure and automated real-time front-end optimization. Yottaa launched its Site Speed Optimizer service last fall, and the WHIR spoke to Yottaa CEO Coach Wei in October about the service.
Yottaa offers a referral partner program and a reseller partner program, the latter of which would be fit for web hosting providers. Yottaa’s launch partners included web hosting provider HostMySite.com, according to its website. The combination of site speed optimization and the content delivery network is a one-stop shop, and could make a compelling value-add for web hosting customers looking for either service.
“Over 75,000 websites already benefit from Yottaa Site Speed Optimizer and Yottaa Website Monitor. The addition of Yottaa CDN further reinforces Yottaa’s mission to maximize speed, uptime and operations for every website,” Wei said in a statement. “Today’s Internet users demand that websites load quickly on any device, anywhere in the world. Whether your website visitors are in Sydney, Seattle or Frankfurt, with Yottaa CDN they will experience page load times that were once impossible except for a handful of Global 500 websites.”
While the CDN and site optimization space is thick with competition, Yottaa says its CDN intelligently optimizes website content as it is delivered and executed. Yottaa claims this is important as content execution accounts for an increasingly large percentage of page load times.
According to the press release, Yottaa’s hybrid cloud network is stretched across more than 20 data centers worldwide and features content optimization, static and dynamic caching, and continuous learning.
“Yottaa CDN is designed to accelerate modern websites and web applications,” Wei said in a statement. “The first CDNs were launched 15 years ago to solve relatively simple latency problems, and they have not kept pace with the rapid changes to the nature of the web. Web pages today are increasingly complex; they are essentially distributed applications that span across the Internet, often requiring more than 100 round trips to distant servers and third-party domains. By combining patented cloud routing technology and real-time front-end optimization, Yottaa CDN adds the missing layer of intelligence to the Web. The result is websites that are 80 percent faster and far more resilient.”
