Sify implements Speedera’s content solution

BANGALORE: Satyam Infoway Limited (Sify) has chosen US based content delivery services provider, Speedera Networks’, SpeedSuite content delivery solution to further improve the performance of its consumer portal www.sify.com.

SpeedSuite includes a range of services for delivering content to website visitors — including whole site delivery, streaming media, global load balancing and digital media download. By outsourcing these services to Speedera, which provides comprehensive services for a single monthly fee, Sify has been able to significantly reduce costs. Sify.com’s users will now enjoy the highest quality content delivery as well as 100 percent availability when they visit this site.

The portal site attracts visitors from around the world. The site is highly distributed, with multiple origin sites in both India and the US to provide increased fault tolerance and performance. With SpeedSuite, web site content can be delivered from Speedera’s global network of edge servers, while intelligently load balancing the routing of requests for dynamic content to the optimal sify.com origin site – a process which is transparent to the web site visitor.

Through this system, content requests from more users can be handled with high performance, while increasing the general robustness and security of the site and off-loading Sify’s own servers from having to handle the vast majority of the portal’s traffic. "SpeedSuite offers the uptime and performance required for users to experience a world-class site," said Sify Vice-President Interactive Services VV Kannan. " Sify.com can now handle increased visitor traffic with better performance than ever, while our web site infrastructure costs have been reduced", he added.
