Content Delivery Network

Content Delivery Network 

 

CDN is short for the content delivery networkA content delivery network (CDN) is a system of distributed servers (network) that deliver pages and other Web content to a user, based on the geographic locations of the user, the origin of the webpage and the content delivery server.

This service is effective in speeding the delivery of content of websites with high traffic and websites that have a global reach. The closer the CDN server is to the user geographically, the faster the content will be delivered to the user. CDNs also provide protection from large surges in traffic.

How CDNs Work?

Servers nearest to the website visitor respond to the request. The content delivery network copies the pages of a website to a network of servers that are dispersed at geographically different locations, caching the contents of the page. When a user requests a webpage that is part of a content delivery network, the CDN will redirect the request from the originating site's server to a server in the CDN that is closest to the user and deliver the cached content. CDNs will also communicate with the originating server to deliver any content that has not been previously cached.

The process of bouncing through CDNs is nearly transparent to the user. The only way a user would know if a CDN has been accessed is if the delivered URL is different than the URL that has been requested.

Many Businesses Use CDNs

When delivering large scale websites to a global audience, CDNs can reduce latency, accelerate site load times, reduce bandwidth consumption secure applications and even block data scrappers and other forms of spammers hitting your server.

Content delivery networks are used for B2B interactions and in serving content to consumers. Today, as more aspects of daily life move online, organizations use the content delivery network to accelerate static content, dynamic content, mobile content, e-commerce transactions, video, voice, games and so on.

In our CDN Integration service, we provide two CDN options which are as follows:-

Cloudflare CDN :- Cloudflare is a content delivery network (CDN). A CDN is a distributed network of servers that provides several advantages for a web site:

  • Cached content: By caching web site content, Cloudflare helps improve page load speeds, reduce bandwidth usage, and reduce CPU usage on the server.
  • High availability: With a redundant network of servers worldwide, if a server experiences an issue, Cloudflare's CDN simply “fails over” to use another server.
  • Increased security: Cloudflare helps improve security by blocking threats before they even reach a site. Cloudflare's CDN can also provide some protection against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS).
  • Amazon CloudFront CDN :Cloudfront is a CDN service provided by the AWS. It integrates with other Amazon web services products and helps you to cache your content on AWS Regions and Availability Zones. It cached all your website static data like images, js, css on its Network and then you can access these static data direct from AWS CDN rather than accessing your own Server. It helps you to manage your bandwidth and optimize your application without any extra efforts, for more details you can check Amazon CloudFront.

You can opt for one of the CDN Solution we provide and then we will integrate that solution with your Store or Web application for the better, efficient and optimized result.
