Analyst Coverage


"EdgeCast emphasizes giving more usability and more control to the customer...Perhaps more important, EdgeCast has an experienced management team with financing, a good business plan and some of its own technology."
Lydia Leong
Research Director
Gartner Inc

EdgeCast's flexible pricing model for bandwidth costs

"It's unique to the market, and a well thought-out way to compete long term,"
Melanie Posey
Telecom Research Director
IDC

"EdgeCast's different take on CDN pricing: EdgeCast wants to mine a vein of frustration with existing CDNs over contract terms. The company is seeking to offer shorter-term contracts, while providing more options for how content gets delivered…EdgeCast claims to offer better performance from its 14 POPs compared to its competitors, but the main differentiating point in our mind is that EdgeCast promises to offer lower bandwidth prices as its own prices fall."


Jim Davis

"L.A.'s EdgeCast goes up against Akamai in the booming business of pushing rich media through broadband pipes as fast as possible."
