CacheFly

In addition to the launch of the new website (finally!  I actually had a target date of February 2006 for the relaunch..), we’re rolling out some requested features very soon..

On top of the recently added control panel items (manage hostnames, manage object expiry) we’re planning to add the following very soon (in the next 2 weeks):

• Country based blocking
• per-account MIME-type overrides

Additionally there’s quite a few new features on the horizon in the next 3-4 months – Check back here for updates…I’ll be trying to post weekly with development updates.

CloudHarmony announced their results of their comprehensive end-user performance testing this week, and (as we expected ), CacheFly came out on top!

You can see the methodology and results here, or you can conduct your own speed test.

Our second POP in Australia (the other being Perth) is now live and delivering content, this will greatly improve performance for users in eastern Australia.

We're now serving bits from Equinix Newark..This should improve performance (slightly) for east coast users, but mostly it adds redundancy to our Ashburn Location.

As of yesterday, our Equinix LA1 POP is now live and delivering traffic.

Effective immediately, we’ve dropped pricing for excess storage down to $15/GB for all web plans.  This applies to both existing customers and new accounts.

As always, if you’re looking for more aggressive storage pricing, please contact CacheFly Sales.

As some of you might have noticed, after a long hiatus, the ARN node is back in business.
