Global Reach with Local Delivery

Corporations around the globe typically serve their web content from a single location. While this may be adequate for certain enterprises that have highly localized audiences, for organizations that demand a global web presence, this architecture will negatively impact their business. WebXpress, SpeedCast's Content Delivery Network (CDN) service, is a global network of strategically located servers connected via satellite and fiber optics. Our intelligent network automatically detects the location of website viewers and redirects them to the nearest server. It can also identify network interruptions and seamlessly route around them to ensure maximum site availability. Our service offers sophisticated protection controls that shield websites from Denial Of Service (DOS) attacks, providing constant site availability and network security.

Slow web page download times are the single most significant factor affecting the user experience. Statistics indicate that viewers of websites need web page response times of less than one second when browsing.
