LambdaNet announces Relationship with Akamai

Hanover, Germany (ots)

LambdaNet Communications, a high-speed
telecommunications network carrier, today announced that it has
forged a relationship with Akamai Technologies, Inc., the leading
provider of outsourced e-business infrastructure services and
software, through which Akamai has installed edge servers inside
certain locations within the LambdaNet pan-European IP network.
The relationship will enable Akamai to expand its strategic
network deployment in France with new edge servers co-located in
LambdaNet's high-speed IP network. LambdaNet ope- rates a
pan-European fiber network with a total length of 22,000 kilometers
and more than 60 points of presence across Europe. The deployment of
Akamai edge servers inside Lamb- daNet's network will improve the
delivery of rich media, HTML, video streams, and digitized downloads
from Web-enabled enterprises that leverage Akamai's services to
LambdaNet's ISP and telecommunications carrier customers. As a
result, LambdaNet can offer high-performance delivery of data and
applications while improving its transit bandwidth efficiency for the
delivery of AkamaizedSM content.
"With the Akamai servers deployed inside our network, our
customers can now offer higher quality delivery of popular multimedia
content to their end users, as well as the ability to handle traffic
surges and scale quickly to meet demand," said Dr. Dieter Finke, CEO
of LambdaNet Communications.
The relationship between LambdaNet and Akamai underscores
LambdaNet's commitment to offer its customers the best quality of IP
connectivity in terms of availability and reliability. Akamai's suite
of services reduces infrastructure costs and complexities by
off-loading all the elements of an enterprise's Web presence for
delivery from Akamai's globally distributed network of more than
13,000 servers located close to Internet end users. Akamai's core
technology analyzes real-time Internet conditions to assemble and
deliver Web-based data and applications with greater performance from
an optimal Akamai server at the network's edge.
"LambdaNet's strategy is in line with Akamai's efforts to improve
the Internet experience by delivering Internet content from the
network's edge," said Jonathan Stefansky, vice president of network
infrastructure and architecture, Akamai. "Working with LambdaNet, we
can improve the reliability of content and applications delivered for
LambdaNet's customers while expanding the presence of Akamai's global
network in France."
