Rackspace Launches New CDN Service with Akamai

Says gives “one-click” access to Akamai’s industry-leading CDN services via the Rackspace portal

Rackspace has launched Rackspace Content Delivery Network (CDN) and is powered by Akamai Technologies.

With the launch of the Rackspace CDN offering, Rackspace and Akamai are expanding their long standing relationship to offer customers integrated, “one-click” access to Akamai’s industry-leading CDN services via the Rackspace portal announced the press release. Rackspace CDN will help customers more easily and efficiently deliver entire websites or web applications with global scale and reliability through on-demand access to the Akamai Intelligent Platform.

Research suggests that nearly half of web users tend to leave a website and abandon their search or purchase if the desired page doesn’t load in the first 3 seconds. Rackspace CDN allows businesses to deliver website content and applications to their customers faster, helping to improve site traffic and customer engagement.

“The integration of Akamai’s CDN into our cloud platform allows us to create an on demand, utility-based, content delivery solution, which expands the Rackspace managed cloud portfolio,” said Steve Crusenberry, senior vice president, infrastructure at Rackspace.

“As more of our customers focus on the performance of their digital platform, our new CDN solution will give them a faster, more reliable way to deliver website content to their customers across the world. Our relationship with Akamai is an example of our commitment to provide Fanatical Support with industry leading technologies for all of our customers. We’re proud to be fulfilling our commitment with today’s launch of Rackspace CDN.”
