Description
A content delivery network (CDN) is a system of servers, or computers interconnected over the Internet, that are placed closer to users across the globe to reduce the distance content travels. As part of an overall network optimization strategy, CDN market solutions complement ICT infrastructure such as edge computing to provide solutions for efficiently and effectively managing content of all types.
CDN market solutions include core services such as aggregation, management, and distribution of content as well as a variety of value-added functionality. Thanks to advances in virtualization and Cloud-based deployments, many CDN deployments can run on commercial off-the-shelf hardware with virtual machines, thereby reducing costs and improving infrastructure flexibility.
5G to be a Substantial Driver for CDNs by 2026 along with Next Generation Applications
The digital content market is poised to reach a new stage in its evolution with the coming pipeline of next-generation applications and solutions. Content consumption among consumers is exploding due to many factors including higher bandwidth, low-cost digital devices, and smart devices (phones, tablets, and wearable wireless) devices.
The market need for CDN solutions correlates directly with the explosion of broadband networks, smart mobile phones, and related applications, services and content. In particular, the convergence of cellular networks supported by LTE and 5G broadband wireless, and cloud-based applications, facilitates the need for more intelligent content solutions.
