Speedera Networks, founded in 1999, was a content delivery network (CDN) company that emerged in the late 1990s to advance technology applications for Internet communications and collaboration and became the first CDN to turn a profit.
A CDN is a distributed computing platform for global Internet content and application delivery, and some of the advantages it brought to the Internet and online users was dynamic imaging, flash video, faster website download times, increased site performance and improved business continuity and uptime. Speedera’s solutions also added a needed layer of security to Web sites, resulting in marked reduction of risk of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and bandwidth hijacking. These enhancements helped to rapidly accelerate communications and digital asset growth as well as cost savings for content owners with sites spread across the ever-expanding World Wide Web (WWW).

Famous quotes containing the word networks:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
