Rackspace CDN
Deliver your website, applications, and media files with speed and reliability.
Overview
Rackspace CDN is a content delivery network service that is integrated into the Rackspace cloud ecosystem. It is powered by Akamai's vast global network, one of the largest in the world. This allows Rackspace customers to easily accelerate their websites, applications, and media by caching content close to their users. While it operates on a public network, it functions as a private delivery solution for Rackspace customers, managed through their control panel and supported by Rackspace's 'Fanatical Support'. It's designed for businesses that want the power of a top-tier CDN without the complexity of managing a separate vendor relationship.
