Is Hybrid CDN Building a New World of Faster Content Delivery?

Media and entertainment companies today are in the lookout for CDN solutions that can enrich the experience of their audience and boost their business.   

FREMONT, CA: Over the years, the concept of Content Delivery Network (CDN) has gained traction in the media and entertainment industry. The sector requires a CDN for its media-rich content that needs to be delivered at high speed. Cloud solution providers are offering a plethora of services with high capacity to handle any given load. Among those, the hybrid content delivery network provides multi-CDNs with private CDN service for specific purposes of a company. With the service, both a private CDN network and a high-performance CDN service can be availed simultaneously. Hence, the name hybrid is derived. The idea of CDN, multi-CDN, and private CDN together creates the hybrid CDN structure. Here is more about hybrid CDN.

Today, the internet has become global, and all platforms have round the clock content requests. Hence, it is difficult for CDNs that are geographically distributed to respond to each point with the same performance. To manage this challenge, hybrid CDN supports websites and OTT content to be broadcasted from the nearest locations through its geographically distributed structure. This service reduces the reaction time to requests from internet platforms that serve different purposes such as e-commerce, games, and video.

A single CDN may manage user requests for content from a website in a single geographic area, but a site with end-users from across the continent requires a multi-CDN. For the fulfillment of the above reason, a robust global architecture is created by using strong CDNs. A multi-CDN service can be provided by combining traditional CDNs. Two or more CDNS connected by a common platform can respond to end-user requests by considering load and zone stats. Many platforms may want to be set up along with a CDN on their servers. A dedicated network can be requested for which the control is in the hands of viewers. The concept of private CDN emerged as a response to these requests. 

The significant advantage of hybrid CDN is that its services are provided over a private network for explicit exposure, and it can be installed through the servers owned by the customers. A hybrid CDN can also manage requests from various geographically distributed regions with prompt service that will be responded to by one or more CDNs.

Media and entertainment firms are expected to offer CDN experience that is instant, anywhere, and on any device. Hybrid CDN is the newest technology solution to cater to this need. With Hybrid CDN, a high-performance, secure, and globally accessible content can be availed.
