EdgeCast Powers Imgur Growth

Santa Monica-based content delivery network (CDN) operator EdgeCast Networks said this week that it has been powering the big growth behind Imgur, the online image hosting and discovery service. Imgur just reported it is now getting over one billion page views a day, a portion of which is served through EdgeCast's CDN service. EdgeCast said that Imgur haas been using EdgeCasts's CDN services since June of 2011, after a huge growth in its uploads spurred the company to turn on its services. Financial details of the relationship was not announced. EdgeCsat operates a content delivery network which accelerates access to graphics, video, and other data to Internet users.
