The Multiple CDN Strategy

Today, there are over 20 medium to large-sized Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) globally. With increased demand—largely due to the proliferation of audio, video and other bandwidth-intensive applications—new providers are emerging and the CDN market is quickly becoming more competitive. With CrowdDirector, content providers can take advantage of this burgeoning CDN market.

All CDNs provide similar services but differ in terms of focus, with each CDN generally offering a fixed solution of enhanced delivery techniques, pricing/ performance strategy, geographic concentration or customer support services - frustrating content providers who must select the CDN that comes closest, but never meets exactly, their unique requirements. With CrowdDirector, content providers no longer have to make that forced choice – they can engage multiple CDN providers and select the right combination of price, performance, time/day/date and location routing to fit their business needs.
