Cotendo Launches Mobile Acceleration Suite (MAS)

The new suite delivers reliable and fast content acceleration globally on any network or device.

Cotendo, a Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Value-Added Site Acceleration services provider, today announced the launch of its purpose-built Mobile Acceleration Suite (MAS). The company explains that this new suite extends its powerful existing web acceleration services to dramatically speed up delivery of mobile websites and mobile applications. With MAS, it now delivers reliable and high-performance acceleration for content to any device on any network in any location in the world. For content providers, latency on mobile devices is one of the top revenue killers. Long page-load times reduce conversions and engagement with applications or sites. Designed from the ground up to accelerate mobile content and to integrate effortlessly with the company's widely used and customer proven content acceleration technologies, MAS elegantly solves latency and page-load performance problems caused by slow or variable mobile network data connectivity rates, giving mobile network operators, website operators, and enterprise application developers a new way to ensure their content arrives faster and more reliably than ever to end users' handsets.

It mentions that MAS achieves this result without any required modifications to the origin site such as creation of separate web sites or infrastructure dedicated to mobile content. The MAS suite applies optimizations to speed up mobile content delivery at the logic, content and network layers. These services are available for deployment and are presently operating in numerous customer production environments. Deployments to date have resulted in radical improvements in mobile content delivery performance even for extremely dynamic content that has traditionally choked legacy CDNs and stymied other specialized mobile content delivery offerings.

The company says that its Mobile Acceleration Suite offers mobile-specific solutions that also leverage the company's other services for content acceleration including, Dynamic Site Acceleration, CDN Load Balancing, Advanced DNS services, and the unique Cloudlet Platform - the first CDN-integrated High Performance Cloud Application Environment. MAS is fully integrated with these and other company offerings. Customers can manage all of its services through a single simple-to-use portal.

"Delivering solutions to hard problems, such as last-mile delivery of complex, dynamic, and highly personalized content, is exactly the type of challenge we like to work on at Cotendo," said Ronni Zehavi, CEO of Cotendo. "Our technology team will relentlessly pursue innovation to ensure that we are providing high-value solutions to high-class problems that keep CIOs and CEOs up at night. We want to give them back their peace of mind and boost their bottom line while delighting their end users with unbelievably fast content delivery anywhere, anytime, on any device."

"While using Cotendo services we've seen up to a 33 percent performance improvement on our site. That's huge because our customers expect instant response when downloading apps to their handsets," said Allan Moger, Operations Manager for GetJar, an open app and entertainment store for smartphones. "Aside from the performance benefits, we chose to use Cotendo services because they understand the importance of the mobile space and are ahead of the curve in improving services for the mobile industry."

"Cotendo is a one stop shop for Redfin's content delivery and acceleration needs both for mobile and traditional end users. And thanks to performance improvements resulting from implementation of Cotendo's MAS, Redfin has seen healthy traffic growth in our mobile apps. Cotendo's console provides detailed real-time views of our traffic volumes, site usage patterns, and associated costs," said Michael Young, CTO of Redfin.com, a supplier of real-estate mobile applications and web-based real estate brokerage services. "Their innovative technology has helped us focus on what we do best - providing the best real estate search, service offerings and market transparency on any device."
