Cotendo Content Delivery
Sophisticated acceleration and real-time control of cacheable Web and mobile content
The challenge
Escalating website and application complexity, content volumes, refresh rates and user demands surpass what traditional content delivery networks (CDNs) can effectively manage. This, combined with the lack of transparency and control in many systems, results in poor performance and end-user experience, ultimately compromising business outcomes.
Cotendo’s answer
Cotendo entirely reconceived CDN, creating a new platform for accelerating delivery of all cacheable content, including images, media objects and static HTML. Part of the full Cotendo acceleration suite, Cotendo Content Delivery gives you the real-time control and advanced functionality critical for whole-site content delivery, system efficiency and timely responses to shifting end-user demands and markets.
With the introduction of Mobile Acceleration Suite, content delivery became handset- and network-aware, allowing content caching that's dynamically optimized for both handset and network conditions.
Features and benefits
Advanced content control
Far beyond default CDN configurations, Cotendo Views offers you flexible control of cache behavior, content TTL, headers and more.
Handset-aware caching
To support mobile content delivery, Cotendo’s CDN-integrated mobile device database offers the ability and flexibility to cache content according to device.
Network-aware caching
Ever-changing network conditions require special content handling such as adaptive image compression. Cotendo caches adjusted content and makes it available to users with similar network conditions.
Real-time management
With Cotendo, you always have access to real-time metrics on performance and utilization, essential for making IT and business decision responsive to current mobile and Web traffic conditions. You can test and validate new CDN configurations in the complete staging environment without impacting production traffic. Changes to settings instantly perpetuate through Cotendo’s global network, and content flushes (purgings) are immediate—whether you flush one or thousands of objects—keeping content fresh and accurate for end users.
Easy whole-site delivery
Cotendo accelerates large and small objects, large and small libraries with equal ease. Simply direct the website or application through Cotendo Content Delivery and set the desired cache or delivery behavior for the HTML pages and other data files. There’s no need to set up a separate CNAME or artificially divide the content. Additionally, Cotendo Content Delivery integrates seamlessly with Cotendo Dynamic Site Acceleration, meaning you can manage acceleration of both static and dynamic content from a unified platform through a single Web-based interface and also increase protection for your origin.
Quick, flexible implementation requiring no changes to your existing system
Cotendo CDN requires no modification of your current architecture, so you can deploy it within minutes. Used in conjunction with Cotendo CDN Balancer, Cotendo CDN can work cooperatively with your own delivery capacity, including other CDNs. Cotendo Advanced DNS can further accelerate websites and applications by dramatically streamlining DNS request resolution.
Real-time reporting for unmatched transparency
Cotendo Real Time Reporting gives you real-time insight into content usage, including easy differentiation of SSL traffic from non-SSL traffic and dynamic content from static content.
Sophisticated real-time control for content providers
When combined with Cotendo's cache views mechanism, the solution allows content providers to define different SSL certificates and caching policies across object groups.
