CDNetworks (KRX: 073710) founded in 2000, is a leading global full service content delivery network (CDN), with increasing business in the United States.[2]

Content delivery services

CDNetworks provides a comprehensive suite of technology for video streaming, large-volume-files downloads, and image caching, which delivers unparalleled quality of performance, service, and reliability. World-leading media and entertainment, technology, retail, and online gaming companies rely on CDNetworks to optimize their end users’ online experiences. CDNetworks delivers content for online gaming publishers such as Blizzard Entertainment, NCsoft and Nexon.[3] CDNetworks also serves broadcasters, social networking websites, and e-Learning providers.[1]

CDNetworks is the third largest CDN in the world behind Akamai and Limelight Networks, and the largest in Asia.[4][5] The CDN market is growing quickly, but market share is volatile, as more companies enter the field.[6]

In December 2007, Oak Investment Partners and others invested $96.5 million in CDNetworks to fund its expansion.[1][7]
