Content Delivery Network
Content Delivery Network, CDN is a network of servers that store content and deliver it to an audience spread across any area.The concept is to keep content on the CDN server closet to the end user, wherever they are, to speed up the page load time and avoid global network bottlenecks.
A typical website generally contains a mix of static and dynamic content. Static content includes images or style sheets; dynamic or application generated content includes elements of your site that are personalized to each viewer. Previously, developers who wanted to improve the performance and reliability of their dynamic content had limited options, as the solutions offered by traditional CDNs are expensive, hard to configure and difficult to manage.
We offers a simple, cost-effective way to improve the performance, reliability and global reach of your entire website for both static content and the dynamic portions of your site that change for each end user.
Dynamic Content Use Cases
E-Commerce/Travel Web applications here are highly personalized (e.g. recommendations) and fast discovery of products (via search and browse) is critical. Performance improvements for applications here translate directly into revenue and end user loyalty.
News & Sports
With shorter attention span of end users, news and sports applications need to be customized to each end user. Yet, this content can be cached for short periods of time (e.g. a few seconds) to help scalability and improve performance for end users.
Local/Weather
Web applications here have a geographic focus in customizing content for end users. Content can be cached at edge locations for varying lengths of time depending on type of content. For example, hourly weather updates can be cached for up to an hour, while urgent weather alerts may only be cached for a few seconds so end users always have the most up to date information available to them.
Advertising
Targeted ads are computed on-the-fly based on cookie or query string data, and advertisers generally need low latency in serving ads. We can help meet the performance and personalization needs for such applications.
Social Media
Applications here also have personalized and interactive content integrating user profiles, preferences, friends and activities. The result of these features is long-tail content that requires frequent trips to the origin servers. Ours network and path optimizations can help make the delivery of such content faster, helping social media applications perform better.
