Speedera and TrueSpectra team to provide dynamic image service
November 11, 2002 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Speedera Networks Inc. (www.speedera.com), a leader in global content
delivery services, and TrueSpectra, Inc. (truespectra.com), a provider
of high-performance server-based imaging solutions, today announced they
have formed a strategic partnership to create the first dynamic image
serving Web service offered by a Content Delivery Network (CDN).
Level 1 PCI DSS Certified Service Provider! DataPipe delivers the best network & support; top tier data centers; New York metro, Silicon Valley, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai. DataPipe - Personal Touch, Global Reach.
Through this partnership, TrueSpectra's product is now available as the
Speedera Dynamic Imaging service. Graphics-intensive Web sites can now
benefit from faster, more efficient and dramatically more cost effective
dynamic image serving, through a fully outsourced service, entitled
"Speedera Dynamic Imaging."
Speedera is hosting TrueSpectra's Image Servers within its network, while
providing the integrated storage and distributed image-caching capabilities
required for a complete, turnkey solution. By using TrueSpectra's imaging
technology as a fully outsourced service, combined with the content delivery
and storage services provided by Speedera's global edge network, customers
can integrate dynamic image serving more quickly and easily. Also, because
no investment in hardware or software is required, customers can reduce
their Web site infrastructure and benefit from an extremely cost effective
solution.
"Nearly every site can benefit from image serving technology, but not all
companies are looking for an internally deployed solution," said V. David
Watkins, CEO of TrueSpectra. "Instead, many of our customers want a "zero
footprint" solution so that they can implement without changing their
existing infrastructure. Partnering with Speedera enables us to offer the
benefits of our software as a service so it will appeal to a wider range of
companies."
The Dynamic Imaging service makes Web application development, publishing
and maintenance fast, reliable and cost-effective. The service gives Web
developers an enhanced ability to control their web site, by eliminating
time and expense in creating and managing static Web images. By generating
images on-the-fly, the Dynamic Imaging service makes it faster and easier to
implement changes throughout an entire web site - cutting the time and cost
required for this process by as much as two thirds.
The Dynamic Imaging service also improves the online experience for
consumers. Dynamic Imaging provides the ability to manipulate images
on-the-fly, letting users zoom in, change or customize product images - this
is the online equivalent of holding or viewing a product in person.
"This strategic partnership combines the best strengths of each company -
TrueSpectra's image serving technology combined with our global content
delivery network services," said Ajit Gupta, CEO of Speedera Networks. "We
are the first and only CDN to offer this technology as an fully outsourced,
HTTP and XML-compliant Web service and believe this service will fulfill a
critical need for a wide variety of customers."
The Dynamic Imaging service is available immediately. Pricing for the
service starts at $2,700 per month and includes 1 gigabyte of storage.
