Amky CDN | Verizon Digital Media Services (EdgeCast) CDN
Deliver your static and dynamic content to users at the highest possible speedIn partnership with Verizon Digital Media Services (VDMS, formerly known as EdgeCast), Fengqi Asia’s content delivery network (CDN) consistently outperforms others in terms of speed, reliability, flexibility and return on investment (ROI). We are simply a better choice for multiple reasons.
1. Better Performance
The results speak for themselves: our CDN is faster and more reliable than traditional CDNs, according to third-party performance tests for HTTP and HTTPS object delivery.
Our CDN is faster because it is built better. We utilise a highly interconnected global network featuring massive bandwidth and advanced caching and acceleration strategies. We also embrace best-in-class, open-source technologies and fast-routing IP Anycast technology for lightning-fast performance spanning the globe. Our CDN runs within VDMS’s proven network infrastructure. We promise 100% availability in our industry-leading service level agreement (SLA).

2. Better Self-Enablement
Built to be part of your continuous application development and delivery strategy, our CDN offers better insights to achieve enhanced productivity. You accomplish more in less time.
Our web-based self-service portal empowers you to control, configure and customize your CDN on your own terms. Not only do you have great control over its caching behaviour, you do so with real-time visibility of bandwidth, number of connections, hits, etc. Our API gives you all the benefits of automation for large-scale deployment.
3. More Flexible, Better Savings
By offloading traffic to our CDN and its network of edge servers, your website can easily handle traffic spikes, anticipated or otherwise. The high scalability of our CDN helps you save on bandwidth and existing hosting costs as you only pay for what you use.
We are also flexible in how we charge for our service. In combination with the use of our DNS, you can achieve further savings on bandwidth usage by "switching on" your CDN only when you need it. This applies to, for example, an event-based or seasonal traffic spike that you can foresee. The image below illustrates how one of our customers utilised the massive bandwidth available from our CDN to absorb traffic during a spike, while on normal days, they use their own bandwidth to handle standard traffic.
4. 24 x 7 Support
Our support team proactively tracks customer origin servers for errors, investigates causes, and troubleshoots to get the errors fixed. Most potential issues are resolved before our customers even notice, ensuing high availability. With offices strategically located in the major cities in China and Hong Kong, we are able to offer 24×7 local support in the greater China region.
