Gawkwire: Web Hosting and Internet News Resource: Aflexi Releases Version 2.0 of New CDN Software Aflexi Releases Version 2.0 of New CDN Software ================================================================================ GW_Staff on 27 January, 2010 11:05:00 (Gawkwire.com) The new Aflexi CDN software version 2.0 adds new layers of customization and ease of use to the Aflexi CDN software platform. (http://www.aflexi.net) Aflexi CDN software is a high performance, secure, and scalable content delivery network (CDN) solution for web hosts and content distributors at extremely competitive pricing. For example, Aflexi 2.0 software's new traffic policies now makes it easier for web hosts to create flexible and customized geographically-based packages for content delivery options. According to Whei Wong, CEO of Aflexi, "As bandwidth in the USA is significantly less expensive than the rest of the world, a publisher can save money by using only US based edge servers. Only if they require international delivery to Asia and EU, will they have to pay the higher bandwidth charges to the operator for additional non US edge servers. These changes can be made instantaneously by the operator via the (Web-based) Aflexi control panel." Version 2.0's "Themability" function now allows CDN operators to "brand" their DNS redirection with their own domain names via CNAME redirection. The software exposes the API and hence enables CDN operators to build their own customized, branded portals. Aflexi's new migration rewrite rules makes it possible and easy for publishers to migrate existing websites to a CDN enabled format. The new Aflexi CDN software version 2.0 also now provides Purge URL (Uniform Resource Locator) capability that enables CDN operators and publishers to quickly and easily replace old URLs with new ones within their edge server caches.
