Carpathia Hosting, the leading provider of enterprise managed hosting services for businesses and government agencies, announced today it has partnered with Highwinds Network Group, a multiplatform IP services and content distribution provider, to deliver Tier 1 content delivery network (CDN) services for Carpathia’s managed, compliant and cloud customers.

Carpathia Hosting currently provides hosting and managed services to some of the largest content providers on the Internet. By adding Highwinds’ CDN services to its already comprehensive managed service portfolio, Carpathia Hosting will provide additional solutions aimed at the global distribution of content -- including streaming live or on-demand video, as well as distribution of large files. For customers using Carpathia’s InstantOn™ storage cloud service, Highwinds’ CDN services will enable efficient delivery of massive files in the cloud directly over the CDN.

“Carpathia has fully integrated Highwinds’ CDN into our managed, compliant and cloud services portfolio, providing customers with some unique ways to take advantage of pairing dynamic content delivery with dynamic computing environments,” said Jon Greaves, CTO of Carpathia Hosting. “Our federal customers can now also take advantage of the CDN for secure delivery of content meeting the needs of their agencies.”

Through the availability of Highwinds’ CDN services, Carpathia Hosting also announced a new Carpathia Hosting CDN Optimization Service. Designed for content providers, as well as companies and federal agencies pushing significant volumes of larger files, the Optimization Service ensures websites are architected for optimal CDN performance and management. The service includes a detailed assessment of the customer’s website and historic data from the website activity to determine the optimal CDN configuration. Additionally, it includes recommendations to take advantage of CDN technology in the best way possible.

“As the Internet continues to experience significant growth in live and on-demand video and large file distribution, it’s an opportune time for a well-recognized company like Carpathia Hosting to expand its core capabilities and support their customers’ evolving delivery needs with top-tier CDN services,” said Steve Miller, President and CEO of Highwinds. “Our engineering teams have collaborated to create a best-of-breed solution that fully integrates Carpathia’s managed hosting and storage cloud services with the Highwinds CDN. The global, next-generation infrastructure of our CDN, which was built to ensure the rapid and reliable delivery of all types of media and downloadable content, makes Highwinds the ideal CDN partner to support Carpathia’s wide customer base.”

Carpathia and Highwinds will host a webinar on December 3 at 2:00pm (EST) and offer a free whitepaper describing the benefits of linking dynamic content delivery with dynamic computing environments.
