CDN – Providing Solutions to Network Hassles

CDN- Content Delivery Network, also known as Content Distribution Networks is a system of computers containing facsimile data positioned at several points in a network to enable maximum bandwidth available for the access to the data throughout the network. The user acquires access over a copy of the data, near to his location and frees up high-traffic central server to avid bottlenecks near that server.

CDN routing increases the network backbone capacity that results in striking rise in the number of concurrent users while decreasing the load on interconnects, public or private peers and backbones. CDN routing leads to freeing up capacity and lowering delivery costs by redirecting traffic to edge servers.

Content types like web objects, downloadable media files, software, documents, applications,
real-time media streams, and other components of internet delivery- DNS, routes, and database queries can be routed over TCP – Transmission Control Protocol and UDP – Datagram Protocol Connections.

Content Delivery / Distribution Networks can have default server availability sensing with instant user redirection, even with large power, network as well as hardware outages.

Below is the list of detailed benefits that CDN technology provides:

•CDNs provide multiple network paths and accessibility to multiple upstream providers
•CDN technology allow you to handle peak-time with ease and without expanding current infrastructure
•It surpasses need for new and expensive routing & server hardware implementation
•Virtually unlimited global scalability at the fraction of the CDN pricing
•CDN pricing is routinely done on the basis of per GB data transfer costs
•CNDs increase web site's speed and performance which leads to increased user or visitor satisfaction to the clients' web site
•Increased speed allows them to reach more customers and explore newer markets
•CDNs accelerate performance of online applications while offloading web site and server application surplus load
•They are more reliable, giving as much as 99.99 per cent uptime
•CDNs are enabled with powerful monitoring tools
•Clients don't need to acquire additional lines or rental collocation space
•CDNs are enabled through simple and hassle-free service activation
•CDN technology lowers cost of content delivery bandwidth while pushing content closer to end users for greater speed, leading to low connectivity latency
•    With CDN, clients have data center locations all across the globe, securing data and longevity

Since a rapidly growing number of companies are leveraging internet to reach to a wide range of customers, CDN service companies provide the required support to meet the delivery needs of even the largest media and entertainment companies.
