Mar 3, 2010 : Aflexi Launches CDN FlexiMart
📅 - FlexiMart transforms internet competitors into business partners, while monetizing excess server and bandwidth capacity.
Aflexi, a developer of CDN Software and Content Delivery Network Management solutions, today launched its new FlexiMart platform. The company claims that FlexiMart enables web hosts to share infrastructure by allowing them to buy, sell and trade capacity, in real time and on the fly, both at a fixed price and via auction-like bidding. The company enables CDNs, content providers and web hosting service providers to merge and expand networks as needed. It says that web hosts and CDNs can market their unused bandwidth while oversubscribed networks can quickly and cost-effectively expand as needed to meet sudden demand surges.
The company explains that FlexiMart also includes a powerful search engine, which enables regional bandwidth searching that can be narrowed down to "All Time" and "Off Peak Only" traffic. Using this system, one can quickly discover all available bandwidth within specific regions offered by different CDN Operators. This allows buyers to enhance traffic performance at desired locations and time period by purchasing region-specific bandwidth instead of global bandwidth.
"Why pay for infrastructure that is only needed for a fraction of the time?" asks Whei Wong, CEO of Aflexi. "Aflexi provides a platform for web hosts to trade excess capacity, resulting in a win-win situation. There is no need to pay big CDNs their exorbitant rates when you can get all the bandwidth and POPs you need from other CDN operators (within the Aflexi Ecosystem)."
"We plan to add many more features to FlexiMart," added Whei Wong. "One of our current projects involves system intelligence where the system will forecast, negotiate and eventually suggest the right deal to the buyer/seller."
