Many of today's largest CDNs were created ten years ago, when high latency, long transit distances, slow dial-up modems, and high packet loss were major challenges in content delivery. Those problems are now considered archaic; BitGravity was created to address a different set of challenges. The problems we are solving today arise from the 10 year-old technologies employed by those very same CDNs. In order for us to achieve meaningful performance improvements, a totally new paradigm was needed.
BitGravity has challenged conventional methods for delivering content, leading to innovations in our architecture, routing, hardware, and file system, which collectively we call BitCast™. We have built a new network from the ground up, specifically for today's Web, to provide you with advantages in performance, features, reliability, and cost.
