CDN Roundup: Akamai, CDNetworks, EdgeCast

Here's a roundup of news from the content delivery sector featuring Akamai (AKAM), EdgeCast, NaviSite (NAVI) and CDNetworks.

It's been a busy week for the content delivery sector. Here's a roundup:

  • CDN market leader Akamai Technologies (AKAM) defied concerns about competition and pricing pressure, surpassing Wall Street expectations with a strong earnings report. "Akamai’s results show no signs of pricing disruptions, despite the crowded field," writes Rob Powell at Telecom Ramblings. "I don’t get the sense that they prospered at the expense of others in the sector, rather that the sector itself had a good quarter."
  • Up and coming CDN EdgeCast has had a good run of late. Last week it picked up a big reseller deal with Deutsche Telekom, and yesterday it unveiled a similar agreement with managed hosting provider NaviSite, which will use EdgeCast to supersede its in-house service. Dan Rayburn has more.  
  • Network World has an update on the progress of CDNetworks, the large Korean CDN which last year launched an ambitious expansion into the US market. The company says it now has more than 120 customers in the US, and has added nodes in Australia and Brazil.
