How can a CDN help cloud companies?
How can a CDN help cloud companies?
As our customer HighQ put it…
“Global organisations are becoming increasingly dependent on cloud-based solutions and, by using CDNetworks, we’re now able to give them the high performance they expect from anywhere in the world”
- Saviz Izadpanah, IT Director, HighQ
When users of your cloud service or application are located further away from your servers, your users may experience latency – a slowdown in web page loading and content download. The problem is that you really can’t control where your cloud services are located, because they are somewhere in the cloud. You may know what country or what state the servers may be in, but there are certainly no guarantees they will stay there.
What are your options? Withdraw from the cloud and open data centers where your users are located. Or, partner with a CDN to take advantage of existing points of presence. The latter is much more cost-effective, takes less resources, and is faster to deploy (in most cases, a matter of days or perhaps hours) and allows you to stay in the cloud, where you can focus on your core business vs. maintaining and scaling your infrastructure.
UK-based HighQ did just that with CDNetworks’ worldwide infrastructure, particularly in Australia, the Middle East, India, and China. The result was drastically better end-user experiences globally. In fact, download speeds in Australia increased by 2,000% and the US by 1,000%. Between Australia and the UK, document downloads and page load speeds accelerated from 50Kbps to 1000Kbps.
