Beta testers required to trial new Content Delivery Network (CDN) service 5 Nov 08

We’re currently working on offering a Content Delivery Network (CDN) service for Brightbox customers.  This will accelerate the serving of your static assets, distributing them around the globe and serving from the closest server to the user.  We’re trialling a partnership with Panther Express to provide this service, who provide CDN services for some pretty huge sites, such as LiveJournal, The Guardian and Shopping.com.

It can be used with the built-in Rails asset host system too, so no heavy modifications or fancy plugins.  We’re looking for some beta-testers, so if you’re interested please drop us an email to hello at the brightbox address and provide us details of your current static asset bandwidth usages if possible. All customers are welcome!
