CDNetworks, the only multinational content delivery network with local expertise and infrastructure inside mainland China and across six continents, today announced that SEMI has standardized website and cloud application delivery on the CDNetworks Web Performance Suite. SEMI, the global industry association serving the manufacturing supply chain for the micro- and nano-electronics industries, switched to CDNetworks to improve website performance globally.
"China is a critical market, so we needed an expert in cloud application and content acceleration who could also help us with China´s complex website content regulations," said Shawn Gordon, Director, Global IT Operations and Technical Services at SEMI. "It´s great that CDNetworks can make everything run smoothly and advise us on potential content miscues in China. Since making the switch to CDNetworks, our members and employees in China have seen 100% website uptime and continuous high performance of cloud applications."
Through its 26 websites, SEMI drives and champions market growth for micro- and nano-electronics industries around the world. The sites support: trade events, trade missions, and conferences; engagement with local and national governments and policy makers; industry research and market data reporting; and other initiatives that encourage investment, trade, and technology innovation.
From a global website perspective, SEMI strives to continuously improve its member services. To achieve cost efficiency, SEMI´s IT team has shifted major applications to the cloud, including the Web Content Management (WCM) system that underpins its 26 global websites. CDNetworks´ Web Performance Suite accelerates SEMI´s WCM and other cloud-based applications.
"We´re showing great performance results at upwards of 7 million monthly page views," says Gordon. "SEMI´s multilingual websites support initiatives in China, Europe, India, Japan, Korea, North America, Singapore, and Taiwan."
"SEMI represents the perfect use case for leveraging CDNetworks for global business," says Jeff Kim, Chief Operating Officer, CDNetworks Americas & EMEA. "They provide content and applications around the world knowing that CDNetworks can support them with high performance anywhere."
The SEMI IT team has come to appreciate the exceptional customer service provided by CDNetworks. "It´s a true partnership," says Gordon. "They don´t just turn on the service and try to bill us for every little modification. We collaborate on what´s new in the cloud to see how we can continuously improve website performance globally."
