It includes acceleration services for dynamic Web applications, static and dynamic Web content, SSL, Advanced DNS, Adaptive Image Compression performance monitoring, and automatic failover as well as real-time reports and analytics. Cotendo also offers a distributed cloud application environment called Cloudlet that allows content providers and enterprises to make logic and data decisions at the edge, closest to the end users. Cotendo’s superior performance and functionality enable clients to maximize monetization and productivity of their Web and mobile assets.
Cotendo's founders took a fresh look at the morphing demands of the global content acceleration market. After analyzing content delivery and Web acceleration providers of the last decade, they concluded that agile, intelligent software—not massive infrastructure—would meet today’s enterprise and global content delivery challenges and keep pace with tomorrow’s demands. Today, using a fraction of the infrastructure and resources used by traditional providers, Cotendo’s pioneering suite of Web and Mobile Acceleration services accelerates billions of transactions for millions of Internet users worldwide.

The Cotendo logo
Designer Ariel Kotzer based the Cotendo logo on the concept of tensegrity, or tensional integrity, a structural principle of stability that balances tension and compression throughout a continuous network of elements. Found in structures ranging from geodesic domes to human cells, tensegrity uses simple elements to support complex systems. Cotendo follows this principle in engineering unified solutions for today's website acceleration challenges.
“Some areas of technology get starved for a long time. Content delivery is one of them. It has been years since fresh eyes were trained on the subject and during this period the amount of content conveyed around the Internet has multiplied at a rate that even rabbits would admire. Cotendo offers a reprieve for content providers trapped within the confines of antiquated solutions.” Michael Moritz, Partner
