DOGAN TELEKOM PARTNERS WITH EDGECAST NETWORKS TO OFFER GLOBAL CONTENT DELIVERY TO TURKEY
LOS ANGELES, CA AND ISTANBUL, TURKEY – October 12, 2009 — EdgeCast Networks, the superior, cost-effective rich media content delivery network (CDN), and Dogan Telekom, one of the largest providers of telecommunications services in Turkey, today announced that Dogan is offering EdgeCast content delivery services to its customers.
Dogan's infrastructure encapsulates ATM, metro Ethernet, and fiber optic connections across the country. The company offers individuals, corporations, and government agencies VPN, LAN, WLAN and WAN connections to the global internet. This agreement will open EdgeCast's worldwide content delivery network to Dogan's customers, enabling any Dogan customer to instantly provision media streams, benefit from edge storage and caching, and ensure high-speed delivery via any of EdgeCast's sixteen points of presence around the world.
"The market for scalable, high-speed content delivery is growing rapidly in Turkey," said James Segil, president of EdgeCast Networks. "Dogan's expertise and infrastructure, together with our world-class CDN, introduces an unmatched content delivery offering to the Turkish marketplace, and we're very excited about this relationship."
Dogan customers can now stream their content using points of origin including North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, rather than the past model of originating all streams and served files from their servers in Istanbul. This results in dramatic increases in performance and worldwide site availability.
"During our testing, we were very impressed with the performance, support, and global reach of the EdgeCast Network," said Fazil Esen, CEO of Dogan Telekom. "Now, whether a customer in Istanbul wants to stream video to a viewer in London or wishes to improve their site availability in Sydney, this new offering truly brings the world to our customer's door."
The agreement was finalized in September and the services are available immediately.
