Akamai CDN at 10c/gb: Worlds best CDN at worlds best price
**Taking Pre-Orders - FREE setup, and 10c/gb**
UK2Group.com has signed a unique deal with Akamai enabling us to offer you the world class Akamai network at extremely low prices.
Akamai is the preferred partner for the worlds largest websites and streaming services, in fact Akamai handles 20% of the world's total Web traffic!
Here is a list of some of their clients.
For example, software updates for Microsoft, or virus updates for Symantic. Yahoo uses Akamai to run their DNS service. Apple uses Akamai for realtime streaming of Quicktime and Itunes (!!). And the FBI uses Akamai to deliver all its content on fbi.gov through Akamai.
Today Akamai has roughly 65,000 servers (was 40,000 servers last summer). There are 1450 points of presence (POPs), 950 networks or ISPs in 67 countries.
From 30,000 domains Akamai serves 1.1 terabytes per second, 6,419 terabytes per day. That’s 274 billion hits per day to 274 million unique client addresses per day.
In September of 1999 Microsoft and Akamai formed a strategic relationship to incorporate Windows Media technology in Akamai's FreeFlow service, as well as to facilitate the porting of the FreeFlow product to the Windows platform. This relationship also still exists to this day.
Other customers include Amazon.com, Adobe Systems, J. C. Penney, and Yahoo!
In June 2008, The NewsMarket teamed with Akamai to accelerate dynamic content and applications to global media ahead of the Beijing Olympics.
The BBC iPlayer uses Akamai to stream its recorded and live programmes, focussed through an XML Playlist.
The website of China Central Television (CCTV.com), along with all contents and video streaming, is being hosted on Akamai’s edge servers since late 2009.
Even American Idol is powered by Akamai!
Akamai is the top dog, the big cahuna, the rolls royce of CDN's.
The recent study from Yankee Group placed Akamai as a clear number one, and now - for the first time ever - Akamai will be available to the mass market, with easy instant setup, full access to the Akamai control panel, and at crazy low prices:
Setup fee: $ 0.00
Monthly fee: $ 0.00
Cost per GB: $ 0.10
Our Akamai solution features Object Delivery and Media Streaming.
Check out the Akamai Performance Comparison - it's pretty cool.
Our deal is totally pay-as-you-go, with a minimum order for $100/1TB. We are taking pre-orders now, and we expect that we are able to deploy the first accounts early next week.
Email sales@vps.net with "WHT-Akamai-PreOrder" in the subject line to get on board. Note: We can accept 100 clients only at this time.
The first 100 accounts were sold in no time to VPS.NET clients, and we will only take 100 clients more in the first batch on a first-come-first-served basis.
This is a unique deal that will shake the premium CDN market - we have been working on it for months and months, and we can't wait to see how the market will react.
Questions? Feel free to write me directly: ditlev@UK2group.com or sales@vps.net!
Best,
