What are the Important Features of the Content Delivery Network

Content Delivery Network (CDN) allows the users to receive the content with minor delay, resulting in a better experience for the customers.

FREMONT, CA : A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a set of Edge servers distributed across the country or the globe. Web content is served from an Edge server that is located in the geographic region nearest to the user who has requested it. This method helps the users receive content with less delay, resulting in a better overall user experience for the customer.

How does a CDN work?

The CDN accomplishes its purpose by caching web content on Edge servers all over the world. When a consumer requests web content, the application is redirected to the Edge server nearest to the customer geographically. The CDN provides optimized throughput, minimizes latency, and improves performance by eliminating the distance that content can travel. Content providers can achieve efficient delivery of requested content from around the world with minimum configuration utilizing IBM Cloud Content Delivery Network with Akamai.

CDN features

The following are the primary features of the IBM Cloud Content Delivery Network service.

Object storage origin support

By determining the endpoint, bucket name, protocol, and port, IBM Cloud CDN can be configured for serving content from an object storage endpoint. Businesses can also define a list of file extensions to enable only specific extensions to be cached. Every object available in the bucket must be configured for anonymous or public read access.

Support for multiple origins with distinct paths

Businesses may want to deliver some content from a different origin server in some cases. They may, for example, want specific images or videos that are served from various origin servers. Multiple origin servers with multiple paths can be set up with IBM Cloud CDN. The system provides companies with more flexibility on how and where they store their data.

Video on Demand

Performance optimization for Video on Demand ensures high-quality streaming across a range of network types. IBM Cloud CDN with Akamai offers businesses the capability to scale quickly for large audiences, whether they are prepared for them or not, by utilizing preconfigured cache-control settings and the distributed network's ability to distribute the load automatically.
