Why NetDNA

nDelivertm Latency Comparison

Testimonial
Warren Jolly, Founder & CEO,
Affiliate Media

We have a number of public facing sites from the United States and Europe, including affiliateprograms.com, affiliaterevenue.com and more. We already had our infrastructure set up at Rackspace, and wanted to see how we could speed up our sites without dismantling what we had. NetDNA allowed us to preserve our core infrastructure, saving us time, money and effort, while significantly increasing speeds for our high-traffic sites.

The effectiveness of NetDNA's nDelivertm technology is measureable. We put it to the test by comparing latency for NetDNA and other well-known providers from 25 major metropolitan areas.

A network's latency is a measure of the time it takes for a packet of data to move between a server and the point of request (e.g. an end user's browser). Factors that affect the latency include the speed of the network technology transmitting the packet, the size of the packet, routing tasks, and server hardware.
