History
CDNetworks was founded as a content delivery network (CDN) enterprise in 2000, when e-business over the Internet was just emerging as a critical part of the economy. Based on the technical capabilities and service expertise created while developing the world’s most advanced Internet environment in Korea, CDNetworks extended its operations to Japan in 2005, then entered China and expanded to the United States in 2006 becoming a truly global company. While already the No. 1 CDN in Asia, CDNetworks is not complacent.The company intends to expand its reach to the global market and serve global enterprises with its complete set of technologies and services.
