Content Distribution Networks

What are Content Distribution Networks? In telecommunications, Content Distribution Networks allow your online content, media, software, applications and documents to be stored at server Points of Presence (PoPs) for access by your end users. Content Distribution Networks are also commonly referred to as Content Delivery Networks, CDN and Content Distribution. The primary purpose of Content Distribution Networks are to improve (1) network performance, (2) scalability/ reach and (3) end user experience. The end user can be a visitor to your website, customer, partner or employee. With a Content Distribution Network, content is a reference for web objects, online and downloadable media, software and applications, shared documents, real time streaming, HD and more.

What are the benefits of a Content Distribution Network? There are many advantages to Content Distribution Networks including the ability to maximize bandwidth utilization. This occurs by providing content to end users through multiple targeted geographical locations instead of end users accessing only your centralized server. Content Distribution Services result in greater network performance by reducing bottlenecks and network congestion due to a lack of bandwidth availability. Content Distribution Networks are ideal for http, interactive web media, mobile media, online advertising, streaming media and applications.
