CDNetworks – Industry-leading CDN Solutions

CDNetworks – Industry-leading CDN Solutions

A content delivery network (CDN) is a geographically distributed group of servers that work together to provide fast internet content delivery. Websites need to use CDN as it makes the loading of the website more accessible. Instead of catering to the visitors from far-off places, CDN networks make up a mesh of local servers to make the website fetching easier and faster.

CDNetworks is a global-leading content delivery network (CDN) with 1,500+ PoPs, providing unparalleled speed, security, and performance for websites and applications worldwide. They specialize in those parts of the world where keeping a website accessible is most difficult: Mainland China, Russia, South East Asia, and the Middle East. We had a conversation with the Regional Vice President, Simon Gui, who shared with us useful details about the company’s services.

What industries do you cater and how loyal are your customers?

We cater to all sorts of industries from e-Commerce, luxury, automobile, media streaming, enterprises, financial institutions, gaming and entertainment, and more. Hence we have to put in unrelenting effort to keep our solutions ahead and on form to retain and gain new customers.

What is a CDN & where does it shine?

Basically, a CDN improves the internet speed and reduces latency. Looking at it from an e-commerce point of view, if your website is down due to a spike in traffic or takes forever to load, your customers will abandon your site and turn to your competitors instead, which can load faster for them to complete their transaction. You would have also encountered videos buffering forever, and in the end, you just give up watching. Hence, a CDN applies to all online businesses, as your website is your online storefront, and latency is intolerable. The beauty of having a distributed network of PoPs worldwide enables us to leverage the capability to build Edge Computing to optimize availability to users better.

With Edge Computing, it can bring computing power, memory, and storage as close to the end-users as possible. The servers are located at the edge of the network, whereby processing functionalities can be done locally, rather than relying on a server at a centralized location like a data center. Hence, the distance of communication is shortened between the client and the centralized cloud, resulting in faster response time, and reduces bandwidth and latency.

How are your colocation services instrumental in providing a robust infrastructure for media and internet hosting needs?

It takes a load off the business to employ multiple skilled personnel to maintain the servers, take up office space, and minimize CAPEX. With our knowledgeable team of trained technical experts, we provide rental of equipment, installation, and maintenance services. So that users can have a peace of mind and better use their budget on other expenditure.
