Friendster, a leading online community site with more than 27.5 million users, has seen significant business gains as a result of implementing Akamai's global content delivery and high-availability managed storage services. Improved site performance, specifically faster page download times, translated into immediate business value for Friendster, measured by increased site usage and revenue.
Since implementing Akamai's solution in March, Friendster, which ranks as one of the top 100 sites on the Internet*, has offloaded a significant percentage of its total traffic from origin servers, avoiding the need to buy additional costly infrastructure. With Akamai handling global content delivery using Akamai's proprietary EdgePlatform™, Friendster has increased site usage and enabled more advertising to be consumed on the site. The result is an increase in revenue due to improved performance. Friendster will also use Akamai's streaming solution to offer users the ability to add streaming audio and video to their online profiles.
