Alliance offers expanded flexibility to build custom peer-assisted delivery solutions
COSTA MESA, Calif. — Wholesale network infrastructure provider BandCon and Solid State Networks, developer of high-performance, distributed content delivery solutions, announced today a strategic partnership that will enable content publishers and distributors to build their own peer-assisted Content Delivery Networks (CDN). Through this arrangement, companies can now seamlessly exploit the incremental growth framework enabled by deploying Solid State Networks’ proprietary software over BandCon’s premier infrastructure.
“BandCon’s unique ‘pay-as-you-grow’ business model is a great fit for our customers that want to create or expand their own network footprint for delivering content,” said Rick Buonincontri, President and Chief Executive Officer of Solid State Networks. “We have found that many content owners are not in a position to take on the high levels of risk associated with making the leap to become conventional CDN owners.”
“BandCon’s ability to provide access to a variety of quality networks and strategic peering exchanges combined with their customized service terms and fast implementation allows our customers to create highly flexible CDN solutions that are tailored to their needs,” Buonincontri added.
Under the agreement, the two firms will cross-market services to provide the best solutions for their clients. With direct access to a greater array of services, both firms are optimistic about the possibilities for their customers and see this arrangement as a precursor to future custom peer-assisted CDN deployments.
“Content owners are constantly seeking out the qualities that are inherent to Solid State’s offering: highly scalability, high performance, low per-unit delivery costs,” said Ari Benowitz, Chief Executive Officer of BandCon. “We believe the Solid State Networks technology will become an important component of future CDN deployments, and this partnership creates an ideal opportunity for content owners to license and deploy the software – quickly and easily through a ‘one-stop-shop’ fostered by the agreement.”
