Content delivery network providers have been offering their customers blistering performance for many years thanks to the use of high speed servers located around the world. By serving data to end users from the servers that are geographically closest to them, these content delivery network providers can reduce latency and increase bandwidths, resulting in the high speed delivery of a plethora of different data types.
Akamai content delivery network demand has been growing recently, with many tech companies leveraging the CDN giant to power their own content delivery network offerings. One of the most high profile developments this year came when Rackspace announced they were using the Akamai content delivery network to power their own CDN service, giving clear evidence as to how strong Akamai’s reputation is in this highly competitive market.
Web performance is one of the key factors potential CDN customers consider when looking for a content delivery network provider to host their content and deliver it to end users quickly and efficiency. And now, more than ever, these potential customers also seek those providers that offer the best possible experience and performance across mobile networks. This is thanks to the fact that much of today’s internet growth is being driven by the growth in use of mobile devices such as phone and tablets in the developing world.
