CacheFly, one of the most prominent content delivery networks (CDN) in the world, has implemented AppEx Networks’ LotServer software to boost the transport of rich media. AppEx’s transport-acceleration software mitigates the performance impact of packet loss and latency.
CacheFly delivers content delivery network solutions to thousands of customers worldwide, including website acceleration and streaming media and software distribution. Through the deployment of LotServer, the CDN provider has been able to significantly augment dynamic web content access performance while helping customers expand their global footprint within existing infrastructures.
LotServer leverages AppEx ZetaTCP technology to transparently accelerate content and application delivery through the Internet. As a clientless solution, users do not need to install additional software or plug-ins. It can be run time installed on any Linux- or Windows-based server in minutes without affecting existing services and connections.
Clients: Toyota, Bank of America and LG
“TCP transmission rates between data centers and most importantly end users are a huge factor in CDN performance,” said Matt Levine, CTO of CacheFly. “Installing LotServer onto our CDN servers has greatly elevated delivery performance across our entire network.”
