Mirror Image Maximizes Speed with Sun Servers in London and Frankfurt
Mirror Image Internet this week deployed Sun Enterprise 6500 Servers on its content delivery network nodes in Frankfurt and London.
The Sun servers utilized in the Mirror Image architecture are powerful enough to handle the traffic of the entire UK and German markets and are capable of scaling for future Internet traffic growth.
Mirror Image's content delivery network relieves the bandwidth requirements of rapidly growing global Internet traffic. Today, Mirror Image deploys a large scale, global content delivery network that effectively transports 75 percent of all Internet traffic to end users worldwide -- at rates up to ten times faster than traditional traffic flow.
"Internet usage is growing at a dramatic pace in the UK and in Europe, but connection costs can be very expensive, and slow transfer rates have plagued end users," said Bill Green, eCommerce technologist for Sun Microsystems. "Mirror Image's content delivery network, supported by Sun's highly scalable servers, is an extremely effective solution to this problem."
