Content Delivery

Rich Media and User Experience

When can lots of traffic be a problem? When all your users downloading the latest video you just posted and your webserver is being brought to its knees.

Ideosity’s StorEDGE Sphere is the solution to website performance problems.

As much as you want everyone in the world to view your new video, you just can’t afford the performance hit on your site that all those downloads will create. In 2006, Akamai said that you could lose up to one-third of your visitors if your page took more than 4 second to load on a broadband connection. Amazon has shown that for every 100ms increase in page load times, sales will decrease by 1%. Visitors are demanding high-performance sites with large amounts of rich content. How do you conquer this seeming contradiction?

Ideosity’s StorEDGE Sphere powered by Akamai enables your site to have those great videos, informative PDF’s, and lush graphics without negatively impacting the page load times. By caching your content on over 84,000 servers across the globe, StorEDGE Sphere lets the visitor's browser download your heavy content  from multiple servers at one time instead of just yours. Instead of your solitary web server feeding all those images and flash animations, let our servers do the heavy lifting.

Peak Load Bursting

Problem: your marketing team has just dreamed up an ad campaign that they are sure will triple the number of site visits over the next two months and your current T1 lines are already almost maxed out.

Only pay for extra bandwidth when you use it.

You could get a bigger pipe but that’s going to get expensive very quickly, assuming it’s available in your area. And why should you pay for extra bandwidth you’re only going to use a few times a year? StorEDGE Sphere offers an alternative. With over 84,000 servers to serve your content, bursting is handled on a pay as you go basis. Is that marketing effort generating incredible traffic? Great! Only pay for the extra bandwidth you use, when you use it.

Imagine your content sitting just miles from your visitors, no matter where they are on the globe. Imagine that content being served to them at blazing speeds, your site loading faster than ever before. Imagine not having to worry about if your web server can handle the increase in traffic. Imagine not having to change your site in order to make all this happen.

Even if your site is highly dynamic, StorEDGE Sphere can still deliver your content to your visitors to maintain a positive user experience.
