BEIJING, March 25, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ChinaCache International Holdings Ltd. ("ChinaCache" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: CCIH ), the leading total solutions provider of Internet content and application delivery services in China, today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with China Telecom, the world's largest broadband provider, to jointly operate its content delivery network (CDN) and to optimize China Telecom's network efficiency nationwide.
ChinaCache and China Telecom will jointly build out and manage a CDN platform that combines China Telecom's extensive network resources and ChinaCache's vast experience developing CDN technologies and services. Through this partnership, China Telecom will share their network resources while ChinaCache will help to provide CDN platform technologies, technical support and customer services.

These efforts support ChinaCache's goal of increasing CDN penetration across the country, particularly among the Internet enterprises, traditional enterprises, and Government and media customer segments.
"Telecom carriers are now facing a rapid shift in demand from voice transmission to data transmission and they would need an effective partner to help them transition through this paradigm shift. We are honored to be China Telecom's strategic CDN partner where we can showcase our technological strength and service capabilities," said Mr. Song Wang, Founder, Chairman and CEO of ChinaCache. "The demand for high quality content and a better user experience is increasing among China's rapidly growing Internet community. Our strategic focus on partnerships with leading telecom carriers support our ability to service this need and further expand our business. This partnership, in particular, will enable us to further differentiate our Company by demonstrating our commitment to best-in-class CDN platforms and optimization by utilizing high-quality network resources to bring more value to our customers."
The partnership between ChinaCache and China Telecom is designed to pave the way for future collaboration between the two companies for a series of value-added services, including big data, mobile internet and cloud computing. This agreement is consistent with the "Broadband China" initiated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to help enhance the efficiency and performance of China's core broadband network.
China Telecom is an integrated, full-service information operator and the world's largest wireline telecommunications, CDMA mobile network and broadband Internet services provider, with more than 100 million broadband subscribers.
