AT&T offers Cotendo's cloud-based offerings

AT&T has added two cloud-enabled offerings to its Content Acceleration suite. By teaming with CDN provider Cotendo to add their Search Engine Optimization and Cloudlet offerings to the AT&T Content Acceleration suite, the company is enabling business customers solve content distribution issues. Weather reporting company AccuWeather is using the Cloudlet module of the AT&T Content Acceleration service to improve response times without buying and maintaining additional servers. With the addition of the Cloudlet module, requests for updated weather information can be made within a large local geographic area. The Cloudlet module extends website functionality and increases speed. The Cloudlet module can make decisions on features such as geography, devices, and request routing. By teaming with Cotendo, AT&T is deploying this Content Acceleration feature which enables new classes of capacities, and applications to be delivered globally and controlled in real-time. AT&T Content Acceleration also includes a monitoring service that offers detailed reporting and alerts for search engines. This technology enables business to access detailed information on potential troubles, and address them before they occur. The Search Engine Analytics module from Cotendo delivers website information, so issues that could impact a site's search engine visibility and rankings, and by extension its traffic and profitability can be pinpointed and corrected.
