CDNetworks Helps Improve Internet Performance, Resulting in Accelerated Response Times for SAP® Applications

Today, CDNetworks announced that in testing at the SAP® (NYSE: SAP) Co-Innovation Lab in Palo Alto, CDNetworks Dynamic Web Acceleration (DWA) solution was shown to improve response times, download times, and reliability of the internet for accessing SAP® applications. The solution was accordingly qualified by SAP as suitable for use in SAP solution-based environments. In addition, CDNetworks has joined the SAP PartnerEdge® program as an SAP software solution and technology partner.

“SAP is a global leader in enterprise software, and we are thrilled that our CDNetworks DWA solution has been reviewed and qualified by SAP as suitable for use in SAP solution-based environments,” said Jeff Kim, President & COO, CDNetworks. “By turning the internet into a secure, high-performing application delivery network, CDNetworks helps accelerate application performance and further ensures availability of mission-critical enterprise data for customers running SAP solutions.”

CDNetworks worked together with SAP in the SAP Co-Innovation Lab to test the acceleration of SAP applications for global end-users. The test environment resembled an on-premise data center, with the SAP NetWeaver® Portal component exposing business data from an SAP ERP application-based system to the internet via an application in the SAP NetWeaver Composite Environment. Third-party testing tools were used, including Compuware Gomez, showing results that help accelerate SAP applications, which included:

• 650% improvement in login response times
• 66% improvement in global average document download times
• 52% improvement in global average end user response times
• Double the capacity for number of transactions per minute

The full results have been documented in a white paper study available here.

The reliability and scalability of CDNetworks' global network overrides the typical internet performance degradations to accelerate delivery of SAP applications anywhere in the world. CDNetworks provides response times that are consistent around the globe. In contrast, pure internet-delivered application performance can vary by as much as 500% between different locations.

As a new SAP software solution and technology partner in SAP PartnerEdge, CDNetworks has demonstrated the technical integration of its solutions with SAP software. Integrated partner solutions extend, complement and add value to SAP solutions, thereby helping mutual customers more successfully meet business needs and drive strong results.

Meet the CDNetworks team at the SAP TechEd 2013 Las Vegas conference, being held Oct. 21-25.
