Speedera Launches Content Delivery Network Services Inside China

Speedera Networks Inc., a provider of on-demand distributed hosting and content delivery services, today announced Speedera SinoCDN™, the only service for in-country delivery of Web content within China that is provided by a truly global content delivery service provider.

Other content delivery solutions for China either rely on a China-only delivery network, without any corresponding capability for global delivery, or attempt to deliver to Chinese Web users from servers located outside China.

SinoCDN is unique in being provided by a global content delivery service provider. Although Speedera is a U.S.-headquartered company, SinoCDN fully complies with Chinese government licensing requirements.

The potential of the China market is enormous. China boasts six of the world's top 20 most popular Web sites, has approximately 100 million Internet users, and is currently the second-largest Internet market in the world.

It also is home to the largest Internet game market. In related telecommunications markets, China also looms large, with 30 percent of the world's mobile phone market (about 350 million users) and the largest landline phone market (also about 350 million users).

The SinoCDN service is available immediately. Pricing is usage-based and requires a minimum commitment with a one-year contract.

The company's SpeedSuite family of services provides on-demand services that cost-effectively solve the performance, scalability, availability and security problems of distributed applications and Web sites.
