Share:
Panther, one of the fastest-growing content delivery network (CDN) providers, will work with Gomez to help global customers optimize their web content
LEXINGTON, Mass., May 15 -- Gomez Inc., the leader in web application experience management, today announced a partnership with Panther Express Corp., a rapidly growing content delivery network (CDN) provider and Gomez customer. Panther Express will now offer Gomez performance management solutions to its customers, helping them optimize the delivery of web pages, transactions and multimedia content; and where applicable, Gomez will refer content providers to Panther's high-performing, low-cost CDN services.
An existing Gomez customer, Panther Express has already integrated the Gomez ExperienceFirst(TM) product platform in order to:
o Validate its performance via the detailed metrics of an objective
third-party (i.e., Gomez); and
o Monitor its internal operations to ensure its CDN is always delivering
the highest-possible quality of service.
These same services and benefits will now be available to Panther Express customers around the world as a result of the new reselling partnership.
Panther Express focuses on providing world-class CDN performance worldwide at the lowest possible cost. "We've used Gomez successfully to measure and continually enhance our own performance," said Anthony Katsur, Panther Chief Operating Officer. "As businesses deliver more sophisticated content online, they'll want to ensure optimal system-wide performance by turning to CDNs like Panther Express and looking to data from Gomez."
"We are pleased to extend our relationship with Panther Express, a company committed to excellence and one that understands the synergistic power of marrying CDN and performance management," said Tom Meusel, vice president, worldwide channel sales for Gomez. "As partners, we help companies like Panther Express focus on delivering superior web experiences and prove their impact every day."
About the CDN Market
This is just the latest partnership Gomez has formed with leading providers of CDNs - geographically dispersed servers that efficiently deliver content to web users on demand. CDNs answer the proliferation of rich online media, growth of the web population, and soaring expectations for instant delivery of compelling experiences. For businesses, faster and more reliable delivery means increased visitor monetization and reduced need for origin costs, so they can focus on building their business instead of their infrastructure. The market for CDNs and ADNs (application delivery networks) is exploding, according to Gartner, growing in North America by more than a third from 2005 to 2006, from $353 million to $474 million, and expected to more than double by 2009.
