Reliable Streaming
Critical to Edgia's performance is the quality of our delivery system both in terms of servers and streaming media. We have partnered with Akamai, the leading streaming server company to provide superior performance. They have developed a patented technology for high reliability and high performance delivery of streams and large binary objects (video, software downloads and graphics). They provide 40 redundant DNS servers with over 4,000 hosting servers located in hundreds of ISP facilities. The combination of performance based routing, system redundancy and intelligent DNS services provide them with unmatched performance and reliability. They are the only hosting company to offer guaranteed levels of service with 100% uptime.
Their next competitor offers 99.6% uptime, which means outages of up to 35 hours per year. Yahoo uses Akamai to deliver over 99% of all their banner ads. Their two key elements providing this level of service are the redundant DNS servers with specialized routing information which includes actual performance information in the routing decision and their using 4,000 servers located in the largest ISPs for their ‘edge’ server strategy. This means our customers training will always be available and it will always be fast.
