New cloud platform offers up to 20x performance improvement
Modern applications and services need to deliver content to users at unprecedented speeds, without sacrificing quality or reliability. But as more systems move to the cloud that highlights the shortcomings of traditional delivery systems and WANs.
Cloud based networking company Teridion is announcing general availability of its advanced Global Cloud Network which it claims can provide up to 20x performance improvement for end-user generated, bi-directional internet content.
"The Internet is an incredibly powerful tool, but until now, we have struggled to take full advantage of its capabilities. It's still common for us to fall victim to slow response times and volatile connections," says Elad Rave, founder and CEO of Teridion. "We are breaking down these boundaries and providing users with a seamless Internet experience -- no matter their location, device or application. It's our goal for our SaaS customers to be able to generate additional customer loyalty, and the funding and general availability of our product are major steps in this direction".
Teridion achieves speed and reliability across cloud networks including SoftLayer infrastructure from IBM Cloud. Through the IBM Global Entrepreneur Program, IBM Cloud's startup ecosystem, Teridion has received free mentoring, support and SoftLayer infrastructure via the program’s Catalyst option.
The resulting Global Cloud Network features intelligent routing using proprietary algorithms and the Teridion Management System, in conjunction with Teridion Measurement Agents, to provide a real-time congestion map of the Internet to find the best possible path, taking into account bandwidth, latency and geography.
Teridion Cloud Routers are created on demand, providing scalability and enabling users to only pay for the resources they consume. The solution works with the largest cloud providers in the world to ensure the speed and reliability of traffic, without customers needing to leave their cloud provider.
The system doesn't cache users' data, and uses end-to-end SSL encryption with no termination to secure data across the network. Since there's no hardware or software to install, and quick and easy provisioning, a typical cloud customer can be connected to the network in under an hour.
The Teridion solution is currently being used by more than 15 companies spanning some of the most bandwidth-demanding applications and services, such as hosting and file sharing, rich media and advertising. You can find out more on the company's website.
