TEWKSBURY, Mass.--Mirror Image® Internet, a leading provider of content delivery solutions powered by a patented global network, today announced that Internet Retailer magazine has named the company a 2007 Top 500 Vendor Leader in the Content Delivery Network (CDN) category. Mirror Image garnered the recognition based on the number of e-retailers in Internet Retailer’s annual Top 500 Guide that cited the company as their CDN vendor.
Internet Retailer's definitive ranking and analysis of America's 500 largest e-retailers is based on annual 2006 Internet sales, researched by Internet Retailer and confirmed by retailers. In addition to company financial, operational and performance data, the report profiles vendors in 16 technology categories that play a significant role in an e-retailer`s ability to stay open for business whenever customers are ready to buy. The top two vendors in each category were determined by research for the report, and the rankings are based on the frequency suppliers were cited by merchants in this year`s Top 500 Guide.
In a feature article appearing in the August 2007 issue of Internet Retailer, Mirror Image was recognized as one of the top two vendors in the CDN category. The company’s content delivery solutions empower leading online retailers, such as BareWalls, Bluefly, Camping World, Furniture.com, Pacific Sunwear, REI and Wailana, to satiate consumers' increasing demand for immediate site availability, rich content and speedy transactions without costly infrastructure investments.
