Content Delivery Network for website promotion

Online performance is very important for organisations that have an online presence. Companies such as news websites, blogs, online stores and software publishers all rely on providing their end users with a quick way of accessing data so that they can serve as many customers as possible without negatively impacting their experience. And as more and more people gain access to the internet, with global networks gaining unparalleled reach in recent years, it is becoming important for website owners to squeeze as much performance out of their networks as possible.

The most effective way for an organisation to boost their online performance is to purchase a (CDN) solution. CDNs have revolutionised the way that files are delivered around the global and have enabled websites to increase their traffic and visitor numbers easily and cheaply. By placing servers at many different locations around the world, paying particular attention to those locations that experience the most internet traffic such as Europe, the United States and Asia, several different access points are made available to end users. On these servers, identical copies of a websites data are made available. When a certain file, such as a software installation file or game update, is requested by an end user, they are sent to the server that is located closest to them geographically. This has several key benefits. Firstly, data travels over a shorter distance. This reduces latency and increases download speeds. Secondly, it helps to ensure that the fidelity of the data is kept high, without errors. Finally, the multiple redundant copies of the data ensures that the files are kept safe – if one server goes down, then a live backup of the file is still available elsewhere.

So should you use a CDN? In short, if your website relies on serving data quickly and efficiently around the globe, then yes. Many different type of website takes advantage of a CDN, including news and blog sites, social networks such as Facebook and Google Plus, software publishers and distributers, such as Adobe and software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers including Google and their online suite of office applications.

A content delivery network represents one of the best ways through which and organisation can boost their online performance without breaking the bank.
