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 great networks are there to prove that ideas can be canned like spaghetti. If everything ends up by tasting like everything else, is that not the evidence that it has been properly cooked?”
—Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)
