Qwilt Partners with Cedexis to Provide QoE Benchmarks for Content Publishers and ISPsREDWOOD CITY, Calif. and PORTLAND, Ore., April 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Qwilt, a leading provider of content delivery and open caching solutions, and Cedexis, the leader in content and application delivery optimization for clouds, CDNs, and datacenters, today announced their Open Cache Quality of Experience (QoE) performance benchmarking program. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) frequently use open caching in their infrastructure to optimize the delivery of content from publisher to end consumer. Open caching often has a profound and beneficial impact on QoE for end-consumers – a benefit that is not yet fully appreciated by publishers. The Open Cache QoE Performance Benchmarking program will enable publishers, for the first time, to monitor, analyze, and fully evaluate the benefit delivered to their service by ISP-based open caching. Qwilt will leverage its vast network of open cache deployments, deeply embedded in global ISP networks, to quantify, via objective RADAR QoE measurements, the advantage of content delivery through open caching. Qwilt's Open Caching solution improves QoE through the principle of "Closer is Better" when it comes to delivering streamed content: caching at the edge bridges the distance gap between publisher and consumer, and ensures content providers deliver a great experience for their users. "Through this partnership Qwilt joins the Radar Community, adding open caching QoE data to the over 10 billion measurements we take every day," said Ryan Windham, CEO for Cedexis "These additional measurements add a new level of granularity within the Radar community, supporting our users in their ongoing mission to better track and improve their consumers' online experience." "Partnering with Cedexis gives us an opportunity to demonstrate to content publishers the benefit of leveraging Open Caching, deployed in the ISP network edge, to improve the overall performance of online video," commented Alon Maor, CEO of Qwilt. "We look forward to engaging with the Radar Community to help improve the performance of streaming video."
