Content Delivery
Faster loading times for websites and apps thanks to a CDN
Content delivery networks are an efficient tool for delivering large volumes of data over the internet at the highest possible speed within a short time. Unlike a traditional server solution, with a Content Delivery Network (CDN for short), your users no longer retrieve data directly from central web servers, but from ‘content nodes’ housed in distributed data centres. These content nodes store a copy of your application data, thereby significantly reducing the number of requests to your web servers and, consequently, server load.
Caching of high-traffic websites (e.g. online shops, corporate websites or online communities)
Product downloads and automatic software updates
Online, mobile or TV campaigns resulting in spikes in traffic to websites or services
Delivery of pre-loaded content (images, videos), e.g. when sending newsletters
Live events with high refresh rates or streaming media
Static and dynamic content from the content network
Static content such as images, video clips, music or static HTML pages can, for example, be effectively offloaded. However, dynamic web content – such as PHP-based websites – can also be accelerated thanks to the intelligent website acceleration features of our Content Cloud. This means that even websites with a high proportion of dynamic content (e.g. user-generated or personalised content) can benefit from our CDN solutions. The CDN operates independently of the end user’s device and software, working transparently in the background.
Centralised data management and customisable caching behaviour
Technically, content is distributed from a central location – either a ‘primary node’ in our network, to which you upload your data, or from your own existing servers. When hosting entire websites and applications, a customisable caching mechanism ensures that your content remains up to date. Your CDN is maintained and controlled either centrally via a configuration on our end, or dynamically through your own application (e.g. a content management system such as Typo3, WordPress or Drupal).
Geographically distributed content nodes for optimum performance
To achieve the best possible performance, we operate a content cloud with geographically distributed caching nodes, optimised for the rapid delivery of your content, as well as direct network interconnections with all major internet service providers to ensure the shortest possible routing paths across the internet. Depending on your target audience and data protection requirements, we will work with you to select a node network designed for delivery across Germany, Europe or worldwide. Our intelligent traffic management automatically shortens the routes to the user, ensuring consistently high performance.
