Leverage our partnership and buying power: cutting-edge storage and edge caching infrastructure across which your applications and content have guaranteed performance and delivery.
Global Footprint
Through EdgeCast, we have access to strategic global locations from which to store and serve our clients’ content. EdgeCast maintains content caching points of presence (POPs) in San Jose, Los Angeles, Ashburn VA, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, Seattle, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Sydney. All POPs are located in tier one data centers strategically located near primary Internet Exchange Points, putting your end users just milliseconds away from your content.
EdgeDirector Global Load-Balancing
A routing protocol and global load balancing technology for serving content requests from the location closest to the end user, combining one of the fastest DNS infrastructures in the world with proprietary routing protocols so content is delivered from the POP fastest for each user, regardless of their global location.
Real-time Reporting & Analytics
General analytics are calculated every hour with live reporting every 5 seconds. Since it is your content and your bandwidth, you should have every monitoring, tracking and analysis tool possible to monitor the services we provide.
Bandwidth Throttling
You don’t want to pay for the full download of a one-hour video if the user only watches the first five seconds. Our technology ensures a quality end user experience while mitigating the cost of abandoned downloads and streams.
Progressive Download
Users get random access to videos they are downloading (fast forwarding and rewinding throughout the file) before the files are fully downloaded, without the licensing costs and technological burden associated with streaming.
Content Security
Token based authentication layered on top of your mission-critical content. Restrict access by geo-location for country blocking, by URL time to live, and by individual IP address: ideal for country-specific content, prevention of hot-linking, or ecommerce download/viewing for specific users.
RAM-based Storage
Storage is located in state-of-the-art POPs on massive storage arrays. When a viewer requests a file, the entire file is pulled into the RAM of the edge servers, enabling it to be streamed 100–200 times more efficiently than from disk-based storage.
Flexible Origin Server Options
Physically store content with Global Data Link and upload directly to our storage POPs, or maintain content on your own origin server and let the caching servers cache it and serve it to end users from POPs around the globe.
Focus on Digital Media
Optimized for streaming and large file delivery via progressive download, while still excelling at smaller files. The network is highly scalable to support massive and unexpected digital media audiences and flash crowds.
