Improving the Speed and Reliability Globally for IronCADs Content Delivery.

ATLANTA, GA. MAY 12th, 2016 - IronCAD, LLC, the leading provider of design productivity solutions, announced that effective immediately all IronCAD product versions 2016 and higher will now be using new download manager technology. This is to improve the speed and reliability of downloads and to simply the install process ensuring a higher quality user experience.

IronCAD in partnering with Akamai and Solid State Networks, has developed a new download system for delivering their software solutions and content. Previously, users had to download IronCAD via a web browser, which given the large size of the download, may be cancelled due to time constraints or a dropped internet connection. With this new partnership and download manager, users simply download a small 2 MB download manager that requires no installation and runs the application. Once launched, the download manager will begin the download process delivering the IronCAD software from Akamais global content delivery network. Users can download the entire application, pause, even cancel and then resume at a later. Once the download is complete, the IronCAD software will begin the install process automatically.

"We wanted to ensure that customers and new prospects have a positive experience downloading and installing our industry leading design solutions," commented Cary O'Connor, IronCAD's VP of Marketing, "By partnering with Akamai and Solid State Networks we have taken the appropriate steps to realizing this."
