Custom Content Distribution Network
With broadband penetration constantly increasing and users attention span ever decreasing, it is important to deliver your content as quickly as possible. No single source of content can provide the faster distribution to all points on the globe, this is why our network to content servers are spread throughout north america and europe. Using special dns techniques we steer users to the nearest subset of content servers while still maintaining fault tolerance and load balancing. Our network pays special attention to convergence so that when you publish new content, is it available throughout the content network as quickly as possible. Obviously the content network cannot store all content on all nodes indefinitely, but using a combination of data partitioning and master archive servers, our network can automatically adapt to changing traffic levels. This means that if some piece of older content suddenly becomes very popular again, the content network will automatically re-converge the data so it is available on all of the nodes. The content network is designed to be flexible and adaptable, such that it can be customized to suite the unique usage patterns of your data, applying specific business logic to the distribution of your content.
High Definition Video Streaming
Streaming of video, especially high definition video, presents some very unique challenges. Unlike most regular data, video is seekable, meaning that a user can request that the video transmission start at a specific timestamp rather than at the beginning. However most video container formats place their index at the end of the file, so the entire file must be loaded before a seek operation can be performed. Specialized software used in our content network can rewrite the videos in real time, placing this index at the beginning of the video, so a user can seek to some point later in the video, without having to download the entire video first. Our content servers are capable of handling both Flash Video (FLV) and High Definition Mpeg4 (H264, MP4) encoded video.
