Imaging that you are that web developer handling a website launch that offers everything to visitors. You have prepared live updates, streaming videos, cool graphics, pretty images and everything hoping to convert them to become your customers. Imagine that you are the website owner who depends on your online business. You have done massive advertisements to bring in a few hundred or maybe thousands of visitors. Each one of them can be potential customers.
During this peak period, what if your server cannot handle the traffic load? What if your website is down? All the money spent for advertisements are wasted. So the question is that you spent thousands of dollars for advertisement but have you prepared your server for the load?
The Net is a very sophisticated media. Everything can happen in a matter of few clicks. Your gain or loss can depend on that few impressions you make. You would not want your website to be down at any costs. Each second can cause you losses. We have seen many cases whereby the server failed to handle high traffic load. You must remember no matter how high the specification of a single server, it is still ONE server. It can be down due to hardware issue, network issue or perhaps high traffic load issue. Now if you are able to spread your website to multiple edge servers, then this will indeed give you 100% uptime.
Accessing your website smoothly. Anytime and anywhere.
What is CDN?
Well in recent years with high demand for such service, our techno-gods had made this possible with the introduction of Content Delivery Network, also known as CDN. A CDN network is a system of computers or edge servers containing copies of data placed at several edge servers on networks across the globe. Your visitors are always redirected to the nearest edge server so that they can get the fastest access speed.
Whenever the nearest edge server is down, they will be redirected to the next available edge server. In this environment, you are getting 100% uptime due to multiple edge servers. The best part is that you can get not only 100% uptime but faster loading website as well. This is because visitor always download from the nearest edge server! Take a look at this flash explanation on Shinjiru’s Content Delivery Service.
