ActiVia eCDN
Comprehensive Network Device Management, Content Distribution, Monitoring, Reporting, and Configuration
The size, scale, and complexity of your highly distributed enterprise content delivery network (eCDN) requires more than edge caching appliances alone to empower the enterprise mission of efficient application and file delivery to the distributed masses.
If your distributed enterprise network consists of thousands or tens of thousands of users over dozens, hundreds or even thousands of edge sites, your administrators need a powerful, centralized tool that not only distributes content reliably and efficiently but provides ongoing edge appliance management, monitoring, and reporting. ActiVia eCDN is a content delivery tool that meets and exceeds the challenges of the complex enterprise environment.
How It Works
Consider the following:
In an enterprise WAN with (5) remote sites with caches serviced by 128kb/s links, pushing or pulling a 20MB file from a core location to each edge cache overnight is simple. Now, consider distributing the same 20MB file to 500, 5,000 or 15,000 locations. You quickly realize that a simple file push or pull is not sufficient to get the job done.
As an administrator:
- How do I schedule jobs for non-peak bandwidth hours and ensure the content gets to every site?
- How do I deliver files to thousands of sites at a time?
- What happens if 1% of my sites are offline when I try to send the file?
- How could I use my existing WAN architecture to my advantage?
An ActiVia content delivery network is the answer.
