The News about the Newest Gadgets, Tech, Consumer Electronics - delivered by Panther CDN NEW YORK, July 28
NEW YORK, July 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Panther Express,
(www.pantherexpress.net) a leading global provider of high-performance content
delivery services, today announced they have been selected as the content
delivery network (CDN) for I4U News, http://www.i4u.com/, one of the top
online Tech and Gadget Lifestyle magazines in the US and UK. The site
attracts an affluent audience of tech and gadget enthusiasts and consumers,
and provides in-depth coverage of the latest Hot Gadgets, Portable Devices,
Mobile Phones, Home Entertainment, Notebook & PCs and Gaming.
With over 500,000 unique visitors per month and 1.2 million page views per
month, I4U is a leading tech news site. Every day, about 30 to 40 new
articles and reviews are posted to meet the information needs of their
audience of mostly male, 24 to 40 year old early adopters, geeks, and consumer
electronics fans.
I4U News selected Panther Express to deliver over a million objects a day
including web site graphics, product imagery and their very popular "gadget
models".
According to Luigi Lugmayr, founder and Managing Director of I4U News, "We
originally hosted all our images ourselves, but we realized that we needed to
provide a faster response and higher online quality. We looked at the
competition and selected Panther CDN because they understood our company, our
needs and were able to provide the personal service that we required."
"I4U, like many new media sites, gets lots of spikes in their traffic.
When an I4U review or gadget model gets picked up by Digg or Slashdot, their
bandwidth needs often jump by a factor of ten times or more," said Gad
Stanislas, VP International, of Panther Express. "Our scalable network handles
these explosions in popularity without missing a beat. In fact, our business
terms make it easy for customers with spiky traffic as we don't penalize them
for bursting through an arbitrary limit."
"At first, we didn't think we could afford the services of a Content
Delivery Network. We ran the numbers and discovered that it made more sense to
use Panther CDN than to buy additional servers to meet our exploding bandwidth
requirements," added Luigi. "The final selling point for us was how straight
forward and easy it was to use Panther CDN. We were up and running very
quickly. It was like magic."
