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, a top-three global, full-service content delivery network (CDN), provides technology, network infrastructure, and customer services that accelerate the delivery of Internet content and applications to end users around the world. It 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. [3] It 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]
