Content distribution network (Content Delivery Network, referred to as CDN) is a distributed network, which is established and covered on the bearer network, and is composed of server groups of edge nodes distributed in different areas. CDN shares the pressure on the origin server, avoids network congestion, ensures that the distribution of website content is accelerated in different regions and different scenarios, and improves the speed of resource access. Today, I will introduce to you the basic concepts and advantages of CDN.

What is Cloud cdn? Cloud cdn only adds the concept and computing of cloud to the original cdn. In terms of the current technical architecture of various merchants, whether it is the cloud CDN platform or the shared CDN claimed by the innovative CDN, they do not jump out of the technical scope of the traditional CDN, nor do they have a substantial cost advantage.

Cloud CDN price reduction every year, in fact, more is to rapidly expand market influence and attention, attract eyeballs to seize the market. However, in the actual offline bidding process, for the low competitive price, it is also difficult to say. Of course, services such as cloud hosts, which have developed steadily, do bring advantages on the platform traffic entrance for the future development of small and medium-sized customers using CDN business.

Innovative CDN is more through P2P and other technologies, the use of idle small bandwidth resources to provide services, this kind of technology has been tried by traditional CDN manufacturers before, but the volume is not large.

First of all, there are technical bottlenecks, which are not applicable to all scenarios; second, if the quality of service is to reach the same level as traditional CDN, it is bound to increase the effort on technical resources, which will weaken the cost advantage.

At present, the so-called three types of CDN are not essentially different from the network architecture and the technical system itself. if we look at it from this point of view, we can only call it a "traditional" manufacturer. However, there are some differences in technical level, industry background, entry point, customer type, market strategy and so on.

The above is an introduction to what cloud cdn is.
