Sounds like you guys have servers doing DNS redirection and calling it CDN. how come there is zero information on your site?

Brian my statement was not intended as a 'bash'. I was simply stating a fact supported by the link i posted. Actually, I think it was complimentary of me to mention that L3 was upgrading their CDN technology. Additionally, we offer the similar services Geo-ip blocking , Tokenbased Authentication, Network storage, & video streaming these are not new services. Personally, I think Level 3 is a great company we purchase IP from them on a regular basis.

Does CDN works well with load balanced servers and content that often changes/uploaded user videos?

The main differences between our CDN and the others including Level 3, is that our CDN offers PUSH Technology which gives the customer more control over the content on the CDN & allows for instant content updates without having to change meta tags or waiting for cache timeouts. This model allows for increased REDUNDANCY & SECURITY over traditional CDN models as well.

Here are a few other options that we offer with our CDN:

- Share bandwidth commits between your servers and your CDN.
- Drag and drop content from traditional hosting to CDN hosting
- Seamlessly integrated into our USER FRIENDLY control panel or simple FTP client.
- Full web based stats package included

All of this can be managed from one account! with level 3 it's a separate company so you will have 2 accounts to manage. If you are an existing WEBAIR.COM client you can manage everything under one account!

I'm not here to slam Level 3 or any of their clients such as Cave Creek, I am simply pointing out the facts. Level3 bought their CDN from Savvis, who bought it from Cable and Wireless, who bought it from Digital Island. If you are a business owner you can imagine the fallout of the people who created and managed it along the way! Level3 is a carrier company, not to mention it's simply older technology. With traditional cache based CDN your content is deleted after a certain set time parameter is reached. With our CDN your content is actually duplicated and stored across 15 locations and distributed instantly! It's always there!

This makes for a FASTER more ROBUST type of CDN...

Q & A::
==============================

Karupted Charles - You know as well as i do how quickly technology changes! I invite you guys to come and test our services. BTW - How have you been my friend long time no speak =) Miss you bud!

Grays "We (ATK) are using the Level 3 CDN and it is amazing the difference before and after. As far as performance its awesome, and we are getting some VERY competitive pricing on it. Now the only con I am seeing on it right now is the provisioning time is a little long, like usually a week, but for the price they are giving me I can not complain."
