3Crowd Technologies: Provides CDN routing and management software for digital publishers and enterprise customers, enabling multi-CDN traffic optimization.
San Mateo, California-based 3Crowd Technologies develops content delivery network routing and management software that enables digital media and entertainment publishers to balance web traffic across multiple providers. Operating under a business-to-business software-as-a-service model, the company provides enterprise customers with real-time control over their cloud infrastructure based on specific price and performance metrics. To support its initial growth and product development, the enterprise software developer raised $6.6 million in Series A venture capital funding backed by institutional investors including Storm Ventures, Canaan Partners, and Draper Fisher Jurvetson. After officially rebranding its corporate operations to XDN in November 2011, the business and its core routing technologies were subsequently acquired by the multinational cybersecurity corporation Fortinet in December 2012. 3Crowd Technologies was founded in 2010 by Barrett Lyon.
