An explosion in demand for Web-based multimedia video and data is driving extraordinary growth in the build out of the vast content delivery networks that support rapid, reliable and secure transmissions of these files via streaming, static and dynamic downloads, and other mechanisms. Dozens of companies today are competing in an ecosystem of providers that supply the tools and services that guarantee the stable delivery of rich media files. But with a market crowded with so many players, it is sometimes difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff where the hype can easily drown out important data about the capabilities that differentiate one content delivery network (CDN) provider from another.

Only with this competitive information in hand can a CDN provider really get a valid view of the bigger market picture in order to better tell its own story.
