>> Q1. You are talking about caching, right? |
Business Value of Our Services |
|
Caching is part of the answer. Besides caching that may be done on 13,000 servers in over 60 countries, other things to help you have a faster and more intelligent web site include:
|
Value 1 High Web Site Availability No more worries about Web server crashes or congestion interfering with requests to your origin site. Requests are directed to the optimal site, making your site constantly available. Value 2 Improved Responsiveness of your site Requests are directed to the origin regardless of Internet congestion, server failures, or other unexpected roadblocks. EdgeSuite Global Traffic Management increased the average speed of connections between requests and Web sites by 30 to 35 percent - an improvement to your overall Web site performance. Value 3 High Reliability To collect Internet data, Global Traffic Management uses probes throughout the highly distributed, fault-tolerant network. Data analysis and map assembly/refreshing are also carried out on the network. Its distributed architecture, designed with no single point of failure, ensures the highest level of reliability. Value 4 Simple, Cost-Effective Implementation As an outsourced service, you are free from managing complex hardware and allows you to concentrate on your core business. • Easy Web site integration with minimal operational impact • No need to purchase, maintain, or house hardware that can rapidly become obsolete • 24/7 monitoring and support |

>> Q2. Why shouldn't I call Akamai directly instead of you? |
||
EdgeTraffic works closely with Akamai but focuses on small to medium sized businesses and can help with additional value add services such as custom web application development and consulting services. Working with EdgeTraffic, you get the same pricing and Akamai will be involved at whatever time we or you determine it makes sense. |
||
>> Q3. My code is too interactive for you to speed it up with your services. |
||
We can assemble personalized pages and very interactive pages closer to the customer. Besides cacheable items, a special markup language can actually do some processing close to the client. Many times the highly interactive pages are actually composed of very little truly unique information. Regionally, more items are reusable. Also, we now have solutions that can run JSPs and JavaBeans on the distributed network. Ask us more about this, more can be done than you think. Besides reusable items there is also the speed gained by keeping persistent connections to the origin database, etc. |
||
| >> Q4. How is this going to save me money? |
||
Well, besides the fact that you will be able to get and retain more customers instead of losing them due to abandonment because of page not found or a slow response, there are other factors: It could save you money in that you don't have to have the bandwidth and hardware and software infrastructure needed to handle the peak or spike traffic times. You avoid the labor to build out that infrastructure. With a distributed web site scenario, you need less bandwidth since the service covers most web site bandwidth. You use our hardware and distributed network. There is also no need to establish separate data centers for different geographical markets. |
||
| >> Q5. How about streaming video? |
||
All servers on the network support up to the newest versions of the most popular streaming software and the user gets the video closest to their location for optimum speed. |
