A powerful CDN, the content delivery network can provide smoothly & highly personalized experiences to users globally no matter where your audience is or what device they use.
The digital age has enabled businesses to run remotely by leveraging technologies, whether you would like to schedule a meeting, transfer payments to anyone, or watch a video in any part of the world.
There are more and more people who love watching videos on digital devices more than TV, especially for the young generation. Life is changing and technology provides more convince and it also provides business opportunities as well.
A smooth streaming experience improves an efficient way to share your video content in the best possible way. Any glitches can ruin an excellent video production, such as buffering, slowdowns and stream interruptions. An advanced CDN can make all the difference in your streaming business. Typically, viewers who request content from a CDN are automatically routed to the closest server, as the ‘edge’ server. An edge server is to store content as close as possible to a requesting client machine, thereby reducing latency and improving load times.
Why CDN？
When you visit a website, you’re being loaded content from that server and if you’re not using a CDN, you’re going to be putting stress on that server for it to render the pages and for it to serve you the content. If you have tons of visitors, that really bog down your server and cause it to be slow and unresponsive. Moreover, if you have a very major website and people are finding your website loading slow and you’re probably going to be losing some people which means losing your business.
How Do an Edge Server and CDN Work?
In any particular network, the various device will connect to each other using one or more predefined network patterns. If the network wants to connect to another network or a larger network, it has to have a specific form of bridge in order for traffic to flow from one location to another. The hardware devices that create the bridge on the edge of a network are called edge devices.
CDN distributes the static content of the website like videos and pictures and puts them in locations closer to the people you’re seeing the content and that varies by what content delivery network you’re using there are multiple content delivery networks out there. CDN caches the content to the servers and then when the person visits your sites it will load those videos from those node servers instead of your personal server. Thus taking the load off your server and distributing it out across the network.

A CDN allows you to use a widely distributed network of live streaming servers for your content. Typically, viewers who request content from a CDN are automatically routed to the closest server, as we mentioned above. This is called the “edge” server. A viewer’s IP address generally dictates the server to which they’re directed.
