• Domain Knowledge – our engineering team can be quite demanding and has an incredibly high bar for itself and the vendors they rely on. Edgecast distinguished itself by demonstrating a great deal of technical competency.
• Reliability – reliability is a key issue for our customers, which means it is a key issue for us, EdgeCast leverages backbone infrastructure from several of the largest telecom providers all over the world.
• Performance - we were impressed with EdgeCasts ability to provide high quality video content through their vast network of caching location. This, along with our own infrastructure, will help ensure our publishers can deliver the highest quality video watching experience to their audience.

We like the EdgeCast team and we’re happy to work with them; however, our philosophy has been to ensure reliability and performance. As a result of this desire, we will have relationships with several CDNs as well as maintaining own infrastructure across multiple data-centers.
