EdgeCast Partners With Gomez for Performance Measurement

EdgeCast, a provider of content delivery network services, has partnered with Gomez, a provider of web application experience management software, to offer its customers a suite of independent tools to evaluate and measure the availability and performance of its content delivery network.

As a result of the partnership, EdgeCast will immediately offer the Gomez ExperienceFirst platform to existing and potential customers. These services will enable active ‘real world’ monitoring and benchmarking of the EdgeCast content delivery network (CDN) from the Gomez ExperienceFirst network of more than 150 globally-located internet backbone nodes and 40,000 end user desktops at the ‘last mile’.

Tom Meusel, vice president of worldwide channel sales at Gomez, said: “As an emerging leader in rich media content delivery, EdgeCast is competing squarely with the incumbents by showing objective measures on how their infrastructure stacks up. The confidence that the Gomez ExperienceFirst platform can instill is very beneficial for EdgeCast, its customers and anyone shopping for a CDN.”
