ServerOrigin Launches CloudCDN Service Based on 3Crowd’s 4th Generation CDN Technology

3Crowd Provides Technology Stack Behind ServerOrigin’s CloudCDN

SAN MATEO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–3Crowd Technologies, the technology company defining the future of content delivery, and ServerOrigin Communications jointly announce the release of CloudCDN, a Content Delivery Networking (CDN) service offered by ServerOrigin to its customers based on 3Crowd’s CrowdDirector™ and CrowdCache™ technology stack. ServerOrigin is now leveraging its global and robust network presence to offer its customers a worldwide, scalable and cost effective CDN solution in addition to their already successful DDoS protection services.

“ServerOrigin’s bandwidth capacity is comparable to many small countries”
This new Content Delivery service launched by ServerOrigin constitutes a double value proposition: leveraging a global footprint of datacenters, immense bandwidth capacity and excess computing power from their existing DDoS product lines, while at the same time answering the increasing demand of their existing customer base for CDN services.

This announcement illustrates 3Crowd’s ability to enable today’s hosting companies to maximize and better monetize their existing infrastructure, provide new turnkey solutions to their customers, while reducing both time to deploy and time to market.

3Crowd’s tool set provides hosting providers with the instant benefits and all the necessary features of a global, highly distributed content caching network through CrowdCache™, as well as the flexibility of operating it with great simplicity and control with CrowdDirector™.

3Crowd’s CEO Barrett Lyon says, “We are very excited to support ServerOrigin’s product launch as their need for a new Content Delivery Service product and their existing global infrastructure are a perfect match for our CrowdCache™ and CrowdDirector™ toolset. By repeating this working model with our current Hosting Provider customers, 3Crowd will achieve its goal of shifting the paradigm of Content Delivery over the Internet.”

“ServerOrigin’s bandwidth capacity is comparable to many small countries,” Kevin Hatfield, of ServerOrigin, says. “Our infrastructure runs at less than 10% utilization at any given time. This solution allows us to monetize the excess bandwidth while seamlessly integrating a complete content delivery solution. Imagine uploading your web content and serving the website direct through the CDN solution. No longer do you require additional servers or transit, we will cache your data and provide you all the bandwidth you need without the need to add a single piece of equipment. A few providers attempt this now but the costs associated are out of reach for the majority of the small business market. ServerOrigin intends to get pricing down under $.10/GB with at least 30GB of free storage space. In our opinion, we are considering this as much a carrier-grade solution as an end-user service.”

This is the first time companies can look at a ‘CDN’ solution and compare it directly to purchasing additional infrastructure or transit. This is the exact definition of what cloud hosting should be, the ability to push a button and increase overall website or application capacity for pennies on the dollar.

3Crowd’s goal is to lead the effort in putting untapped infrastructure and bandwidth resources to better use, allowing their customers to make the Internet more scalable, more resilient, better performing while introducing new revenue streams.

About 3Crowd Technologies

3Crowd Technologies is a San Mateo, CA-based software services company developing the future of content delivery. The company’s products and services are changing the economics of content delivery by giving greater control over how content is shared and internal IT assets optimized. Today, 3Crowd’s services include CrowdCache and CrowdDirector. Both are easily deployed and configurable and provide a cost model for maximum efficiency. 3Crowd’s investors include Storm Ventures, Canaan Partners, and angel investors, Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson, founders of DIGG and Revision3.

START: 27 JAN 2011, 3:28AM U.S. Central
END: 27 JAN 2011, 4:05AM U.S. Central
Total Service Impact: 37 min (Intermittent)

Abstract: ServerOrigin sustained a brief network outage resulting from an unforeseen error in the DDoS filtering array which caused connectivity issues for many users.

Cause: A scheduled upgrade for the expansion of the filtering array including additional bandwidth links from Peer1. During installation traffic was moved from the primary array to the secondary. Once moved all filtering continued but on reduced bandwidth. ServerOrigin encountered multiple DDoS attacks saturating the backup array and causing intermittent connectivity and dropped packets.

Resolution: Traffic was re-routed through the primary and secondary filtering arrays with the changes saved for completion tomorrow during non-peak hours. No further downtime or intermittent connectivity is expected.

We apologize for the brief connectivity issues seen lately and we want to assure you that we are aware and working to resolve it. The end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011 has brought larger attacks with higher PPS rates which appear to be able to sustain for longer periods of time than averages seen prior to last quarter ’10. Due to the volume and demand for protection ServerOrigin continues to upgrade and add additional infrastructure but it’s a moving target and one that requires live upgrades. Even with thorough testing and check-out, there is always possibility for something not going according to plan and as much as we try to avoid that, we have seen several cases lately where things simply did not go according to plan.

We thank you as a ServerOrigin customer for your patience and support. This upgrade will bring an additional 100% of overall bandwidth and filtering capacity to handle recent and future growth. Once completed, many of the issues seen over the past few weeks should be fully resolved. Scheduled completion is by Thursday night. We will notify you if any connectivity issues are planned. No downtime is planned for the upcoming maintenance.

09 DEC 2010, 7AM – 5PM: Many customer leased servers will be relocated, resulting in a service impact not expected to exceed 30 minutes per server.

10 DEC 2010, 8AM – 10PM U.S. Pacific: This window is reserved for final routing changes, network testing, and quality assurance. Service impact is not expected at this time.

11 DEC 2010, 8AM – 10PM U.S. Pacific: This window is reserved for quality assurance and last minute changes. Service impact is not expected at this time.

START:  13 OCT 2010, 2:00PM U.S. Pacific
END:  13 OCT 2010, 10:00PM U.S. Pacific
Affected Network Segment: 208.64.x.x
Total Service Impact: No Impact Anticipated

Abstract:  We anticipate bringing up the BGP session for a new circuit to PCCW during this maintenance window. A recently installed edge router will become fully operational at that time.

Chronology: Timing will depend upon coordination with the PCCW NOC. A more specific window is not available at this time.

No impact should be seen during this maintenance.

Additionally, the Black Lotus/ServerOrigin partnership offers customers robust, high capacity, enterprise grade DDoS protection solutions with the ability to generate enhanced network integrity, cost reduction opportunities, and significant productivity gains.

“ServerOrigin prides itself in creative partnerships that provide more ROI for our customers,” says Kevin Hatfield, Director of Operations of ServerOrigin. “Denial-of-service is becoming a fast growing problem with average attack sizes increasing every year. The partnership with Black Lotus allows us to take advantage of the knowledge and expertise that has made Black Lotus the well-known brand that it is today. By working together with Black Lotus, we are mixing two of the best brands in the DDoS protection host industry to create a service where the customer truly benefits in terms of service and price for DDoS protected hosting services.”

Black Lotus has officially named ServerOrigin as a Solutions Partner.

ServerOrigin will also receive IP connectivity from the Black Lotus network in Los Angeles. ServerOrigin will combine internal, proprietary filtering technology and experience with commercially available DDoS protection solutions from Black Lotus.

“Building a network resilient to large-scale DDoS attacks is a tremendous challenge,” says Hatfield. “It requires vast experience, a significant investment, and ongoing upkeep in order to remain stable in the face of multi-Gbps attacks. This is where both the Black Lotus network and MitigationPro appliances shine. Black Lotus has already made a big investment and their infrastructure is a solid building block for us to continue our DDoS protection hosting business while allowing Black Lotus to do what they do best.”

An experienced and trusted DDoS protection host, Black Lotus has been providing DDoS protection services at every level, from DDoS protected dedicated servers to colocation, web hosting DDoS protection, and LotusCloud VM to prevent DDoS attacks. Black Lotus’s DDoS protection network is capable of multi-gigabit DDoS mitigation and can process millions of packets per second from every type of known attack.

“As an industry pioneer, Black Lotus brings over 10 years of DDoS mitigation experience to ServerOrigin in order to allow them to continue their rapid growth as one of the emerging leaders in the DDoS mitigated hosting and protection industry,” says Jeffrey Lyon, Director of Black Lotus. “Black Lotus MitigationPro appliances will allow ServerOrigin to provide DDoS protection hosting services at a savings of at least 53%. This savings can then be passed on to ServerOrigin customers.”

The Black Lotus/ServerOrigin partnership will leverage synergies between Black Lotus technology and ServerOrigin DDoS hosting solutions to market distributed denial of service protection more efficiently and cost effectively, resulting in an improved customer experience. The Black Lotus MitigationPro DDoS platform will also allow Black Lotus and ServerOrigin to work in tandem to defeat new, zero day attacks and botnets.
