SK Telecom Selects CinTel Over Competitors for Their Music Portal 'Melon'
Posted on: Monday, 2 May 2005, 06:00 CDT
CinTel Corp. ("CinTel") (OTCBB:CNCN) Korea's top Internet Traffic Management (ITM) solution provider, is pleased to announce that SK Telecom (NYSE:SKM) has selected CinTel's iCache 7010S web cache solution for its music portal site www.melon.com. "Melon" is a popular wired and wireless Korean music portal with over 1 million subscribers as of March, 2005, that allows their customers to enjoy music anytime, anywhere. CinTel was selected after a rigorous in-house benchmark testing period over industry competitors BlueCoat(BCSI), Network Appliance(NTAP), and Inktomi.
Due to fierce competition for wireless subscribers now with number portability, and as wireless devices such as MP3 music players proliferate, leading carriers like SK Telecom are opening multi-media content portal sites to attract new subscribers and to keep existing customers on longer. But delivering audio content via the internet to wireless devices poses unique bandwidth management requirements on their infrastructure. SK Telecom, recognizing the critical need for a quality user experience for their new visitors has selected CinTel's flagship product iCache 7010S to optimize bandwidth and response times with its scalability and throughput, proactively adding capacity as the expected number of users increase.
CinTel's iCache7010S is a high-end web cache solution for web server acceleration. The solution enables companies to guarantee faster response-times and more reliable service for their e-commerce site visitors. Companies are recognizing the cost savings of deploying CinTel's iCache servers to increase capacity in their server farms as opposed to simply adding additional costly servers to increase capacity.
CEO of CinTel, Mr. Kim Sang-don, "We are pleased to provide the iCache servers to another member of SK Telecom's portal family site, having satisfactorily demonstrated our performance and quality of CinTel's iCache". Furthermore Mr. Bang Ji-Hun, Manager of Network Engineering Department of SK Telecom, said "We had focused on the system stability, maximum performance that the equipment can execute and the technical support that can be provided in the future. Then we found that CinTel's iCache is the best product."
SK Telecom is the largest cellular telephone operator in Korea. CinTel scored the highest marks in the Benchmark Test, sponsored by SK Telecom, among three other industry competitors, Network Appliance(C6200), BlueCoat(SA-7225) and Inktomi(Traffic Server). In the final round, CinTel was selected as the official supplier of cache products over BlueCoat, with a through-put of 900Mbps vs. BlueCoat SA-7225's 600Mbps--50% higher through-put performance. Mercury Interactive's (www.mercury.com) LoadRunner(TM) was used in the benchmark testing.
