Cotendo Mobile Acceleration Suite Datasheet

Challenge for mobile apps and contentToday, an increasing majority of Internet–connected devices are smart phones and devices, such as tablets, that connect using mobile services. But mobile users expect the same level of performance they are accustomed to from non-mobile devices, which have less variability than mobile environments.

A website application developer struggles to address two mobile-specific variables: the differences in mobile devices’ display and processing capabilities, and the per-session variability in connection throughput. Neither of these variables can be mitigated by legacy CDN services because mobile users receive more dynamic content, which cannot be cached by traditional CDN services.

Solution: Cotendo Mobile Acceleration SuiteCotendo’s Mobile Acceleration Suite (MAS) dramatically improves the performance of mobile websites and mobile applications. A set of services tailored for mobile environments, MAS mitigates mobile-specific variables and then seamlessly integrates with Cotendo’s Internet acceleration services.

MAS begins with Cotendo Dynamic Site Acceleration (DSA) service, which optimizes Internet delivery of dynamic content, and then integrates DSA with SPDY, a protocol optimized for delivery to mobile devices. MAS includes SSL for secured content delivery, and provides CDN for object caching. CDN is integrated with Cotendo’s Adaptive Image Compression (AIC) service, which dynamically compresses image content based on each device’s display capabilities and a real-time assessment of the specific user’s mobile throughput.

The Mobile Acceleration Suite optimizes mobile delivery performance at three levels

• Logic – CloudletTM capability allows key cloud logic and data to be forward deployed

• Content – AIC leverages CDN’s caching service

• Network – DSA accelerates delivery to the edge; SPDY optimizes it the rest of the way

Integrated mobile performance servicesMobile Acceleration Suite (MAS) 1.0 includes

• Cloudlet – a high-performance, globally scalable cloud application environment that lets customers deploy and execute logic at the edge rather than only at the origin, reducing traffic to the origin and providing improved responsiveness to the user

• CDN – caches static content at the edge and delivers it quickly, enhanced to cache and deliver AIC-compressed versions of images

• Adaptive Image Compression (AIC) – following customer –configured parameters, creates images with smaller file sizes that are appropriate for specific mobile device models and that can be quickly sent given the throughput of the user’s mobile connection

• Dynamic Site Acceleration (DSA) – optimizes delivery of dynamic content between the origin and the edge, using hyper-fast connections and proprietary protocols

• SPDY - uses the SPDY protocol between the edge and the end-user device; SPDY is optimized for mobile devices and used for those mobile devices that support it

The Mobile Acceleration Suite is a set of globally available integrated services that improves the performance and reliability of mobile websites and mobile applications.
