Did you know that the live coverage of Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration was watched by 21.3 million over the Web, with more than 7.7 million streams flowing concurrently at peak time?

The soaring popularity of the Internet has opened up vast opportunities to deliver your content to your globally dispersed audience. And with democratization of the net, there is no limit to the volume or formats of content that are delivered online. This has created a demand for newer, better Content Delivery Network (CDN) solutions that tap into the power of Internet to deliver a jitter-free user experience, without increasing costs associated with the delivery of content that could include software, games, audio/video, CAD/CAM images, blueprints, and much more.

NaviSite takes content delivery outsourcing to a new level with the latest CDN portfolio that offers faster, reliable, and secure content delivery. NaviSite’s content delivery services break all the barriers of traditional content delivery where organizations had to worry about what they were delivering, to whom, and how – and most of the times were not sure if the content was delivered securely to the right audience.

NaviSite’s CDN solutions leverage the modern CDN technologies of our partner EdgeCast to deliver any kind of content, anytime, anywhere without investing the time, effort, and money required to set up and manage an IT infrastructure, yet offering all the flexibility, functionality, and support that such an infrastructure would provide. NaviSite’s CDN spans a full range of services from Electronic File Delivery (EFD) to content streaming to online video publishing services.
