Managing Rich Media Content.
"Global Crossing's multi-CDN partner approach is a strong entry into the CDN market, as it will allow for a diverse array of potential customers to select what content delivery option is most appropriate for them, dependent on price, availability of services, and type of content delivered. Given the breadth of Global Crossing's global network and robust suite of IP and transport solutions, offering a CDN solution is complementary to its core services."

Content drives your business and it is critical to keeping you connected to your clients and prospects. Whether your business focus is B2B or B2C, you need to efficiently distribute, manage, and monetize your online content. The heavy and unpredictable traffic load on the public IP networks, means that you can no longer rely on the best-effort delivery over the public internet for distribution of strategic content.
IT professionals are challenged with ensuring the successful delivery of content to their external end-users and are faced with a dilemma - to purchase a dedicated Content Delivery Network (CDN) or source a CDN solution from a third party. Outsourcing your CDN requirements removes the stress of the initial capital investment as well as allows you to always take advantage of the most recent and innovative technology. Another advantage of a third party CDN is that it will dynamically scale capacity to meet consumer growth and corporate needs on a global level.
Third-party CDN providers have evolved beyond delivering just static content and have become a source for complete solutions.
Global Crossing has taken a partnership approach with both LimeLight Networks and EdgeCast Networks to deliver an end-to-end CDN solution for their customers.
