Rackspace CDN will help customers deliver entire websites or web applications through on-demand access to the Akamai Intelligent Platform.
Rackspace, a managed cloud company has announced the launch of Rackspace Content Delivery Network (CDN). This new service is powered by Akamai Technologies, the global leader in CDN services.
With the launch of the Rackspace CDN offering, Rackspace and Akamai are expanding their long standing relationship to offer customers integrated, “one-click” access to Akamai’s industry-leading CDN services via the Rackspace portal. Rackspace CDN will help customers deliver entire websites or web applications through on-demand access to the Akamai Intelligent Platform.
Research suggests that nearly half of web users tend to leave a website and abandon their search or purchase if the desired page doesn’t load in the first 3 seconds. Rackspace CDN allows businesses to deliver website content and applications to their customers faster, helping to improve site traffic and customer engagement.
“The integration of Akamai’s CDN into our cloud platform allows us to create an on demand, utility-based, content delivery solution, which expands the Rackspace managed cloud portfolio,” said, Steve Crusenberry, SVP (Infrastructure), Rackspace.
“As more of our customers focus on the performance of their digital platform, our new CDN solution will give them a faster, more reliable way to deliver website content to their customers across the world. Our relationship with Akamai is an example of our commitment to provide Fanatical Support with industry leading technologies for all of our customers. We’re proud to be fulfilling our commitment with today’s launch of Rackspace CDN," added Crusenberry.
With Rackspace CDN, customers will now be able to scale out their worldwide presence without massive infrastructure investments. Rackspace’s ability to provision enterprise services at scale is a hallmark of Fanatical Support. During the early access program, Rackspace CDN specialists were able to provision 300 customers in less than 24 hours.
