Adify Chooses Global Crossing Content Delivery Network Services to Support Online Advertising

Florham Park, N.J. — Global Crossing (NASDAQ: GLBC), a leading global IP solutions provider, today announced that Adify, a premier vertical ad network management and media services company, has selected Global Crossing’s Content Delivery Network (CDN) services.

The Adify Network Builder solution delivers display, rich media, video and HTML content to quality mid-tail publishers (independent sites with between 5,000 and 1 million unique visitors per month) and their engaged audiences in vertical ad networks built by leading entrepreneurs and media companies worldwide. Under its agreement with Global Crossing, Adify, headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, will use Global Crossing’s LimelightDELIVERTM* solution with Secure Sockets Layer enhancements for fast, secure and reliable Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) distribution.

“Global Crossing’s Content Delivery Network is supporting the intelligent aggregation system Adify has built for advertisers, content aggregators, and individual publishers,” said Jon Prall, senior vice president of Engineering Operations at Adify. “Our customers rely upon our platform to run their businesses and Global Crossing’s underlying infrastructure support helps us deliver the unparalleled performance, effectiveness, and reach our customers expect.”

“We’re very pleased Adify has chosen our Content Delivery Network service,” said Neil Barua, Global Crossing’s managing director for North America. “By combining the advantages of our industry-leading Global IP backbone with market-leading CDN services, we’re simplifying content delivery through an end-to-end solution.”

Global Crossing’s CDN strategy enhances the significant cost and performance benefits of its IP data offerings and builds upon its commitment to provide a full suite of services that allow multi-national corporations to focus on their core businesses.

Earlier this year, Global Crossing announced it was entering the CDN market by partnering with two leading CDN providers, Limelight Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: LLNW), and EdgeCast Networks. These two strategic partnerships allow Global Crossing to offer its enterprise customers around the world rich media content delivery, such as high-definition movies, music, video games and software download online.

Jointly providing CDN services with multiple vendors gives Global Crossing’s customers one point of contact for their network and content delivery needs, and enables the company and its partners to drive best-in-class solutions into the marketplace. Together with its CDN partners, Global Crossing will offer customers the ability to create a high-quality experience for their end users without service interruption.

This approach promises to improve customer satisfaction and allows Global Crossing to help its customers select the right CDN solution for the appropriate business requirement. Businesses often employ multiple CDNs to take advantage of best-in-class services for specific requirements.
