A little while ago I left my cushy job at Cisco Systems and went back to the gritty world of startups. Â For those of you who don’t know I’ve done 3 startups in my life: Â Exodus Communications (Acquired by Cable & Wireless), Procket Networks (Acquired by Cisco) and now 3Crowd Technologies, INC.
3Crowd brings a new level of control to Content Delivery Networks; offering the CrowdDirector product with the ability to balance your traffic between contemporary CDNs, Federated CDNs and/or your own CDN (Created using our CrowdCache software).  By offering these tools we are helping content providers to better control their cost/performance ratios, moving traffic around as needed based on performance needs (or a lack of performance).
One of the core differentiators with the 3Crowd CrowdDirector solution vs other solutions is the ability to use the system to do exactly what you are doing today and then add extras as wanted/needed.  In a sense, you can use 3Crowd as a resilient DNS/HTTP redirector system with your current CDN (or even non CDN) assets.  If you find another CDN or put up some of your own Caches you can then use the 3Crowd CrowdDirector to move some or all of your traffic there.
