Panther
Express
Selected to Power I4U News
Site,
one of the top tech and
gadget blogs
The News about the Newest Gadgets, Tech,
Consumer Electronics – delivered by Panther
CDN
New York, NY – (July 28,
2008) –
Panther Express,
(www.pantherexpress.net)
a leading global provider of
high-performance content delivery services,
today announced they have been selected as
the content delivery network (CDN) for I4U
News,
http://www.i4u.com/,
one of the top online Tech and Gadget
Lifestyle magazines in the US and UK. The
site attracts an affluent audience of tech
and gadget enthusiasts and consumers, and
provides in-depth coverage of the latest Hot
Gadgets, Portable Devices, Mobile Phones,
Home Entertainment, Notebook & PCs and
Gaming.
With over 500,000 unique visitors per month
and 1.2 million page views per month, i4u is
a leading tech news site. Every day, about
30 to 40 new articles and reviews are posted
to meet the information needs of their
audience of mostly male, 24 to 40 year old
early adopters, geeks, and consumer
electronics fans.
I4U News selected Panther Express to deliver
over a million objects a day including web
site graphics, product imagery and their
very popular “gadget models”.
According to Luigi Lugmayr, founder and
Managing Director of i4U News, “We
originally hosted all our images ourselves,
but we realized that we needed to provide a
faster response and higher online quality.
We looked at the competition and selected
Panther CDN because they understood our
company, our needs and were able to provide
the personal service that we required.”
“i4U, like many new media sites, gets lots
of spikes in their traffic. When an i4U
review or gadget model gets picked up by
Digg or Slashdot, their bandwidth needs
often jump by a factor of ten times or
more,” said Gad Stanislas, VP International,
of Panther Express. “Our scalable network
handles these explosions in popularity
without missing a beat. In fact, our
business terms make it easy for customers
with spiky traffic as we don’t penalize them
for bursting through an arbitrary limit.”
“At first, we didn’t think we could afford
the services of a Content Delivery Network.
We ran the numbers and discovered that it
made more sense to use Panther CDN than to
buy additional servers to meet our exploding
bandwidth requirements,” added Luigi. “The
final selling point for us was how straight
forward and easy it was to use Panther CDN.
We were up and running very quickly. It was
like magic.”
