Carriers and Hosting Companies
For a carrier or hosting company the decision to build or buy a CDN system is very difficult.
Hardware vendors are interested in selling you hardware solutions that scale at a huge cost and erode any competitive advantage that is provided via your own network and hardware platforms. 3Crowd provides compelling solutions to carriers, hosting companies, and networking companies looking to license and rapidly deploy CDN technology.
Solutions to your daily problems
If any of the scenarios below rings a bell with you, the CrowdCache and CrowdDirector duet is made for you:
“I have datacenter space in multiple locations and I am running my own network yet I have no product that leverages this diversity”
“I want to offer CDN to my customers, but I have no internal means of developing it…”
“I want to roll out a CDN for my customer, but I want total control of its architecture…”
“I have unused bandwidth or CPU that I want to be able to sell to my existing clients and/or to new customers…”
“I have heterogeneous content delivery infrastructures that I want to unify, federate and control through a single control plane…”
“I am an ISP, I have a myriad of regional PoPs, I own the bandwidth to my own eyeballs and want to launch a product for Media Companies to deliver content with best in class service availability and performance …”
“I want to offer content delivery to my customers without being bound by a restrictive partner or reseller agreement, I want my own…”
Content and Enterprise
In the field of content delivery, there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all. Based on the geographical areas where your audience is clustered or is in its early growth stages, there is a strong chance that no existing content delivery network has the exact solution that is tailored to your needs.
Most likely, your chosen provider has blind spots in certain geographies that matter to you, or strong presence in geographies of lesser importance to your current audience. These are the most common drawbacks of delivering your content over a legacy, mutualized and global platform.
Often, the financial risk of adding an extra provider for specific destinations implies engineering and operations overhead to maintain both in a consistent manner, making it difficult for you to venture into new geographies.
It might also have happened that you haven’t been able to satisfy your audience simply because your content is too popular at a given moment, causing your provider(s) to choke because of the traffic surges.
The cost of sizing a content delivery network based on the worst traffic surge it could possibly endure may be prohibitively expensive. How can you keep your audience satisfied at all times?
We have designed CrowdCache to relieve you from these headaches and offer you the flexibility and agility you need to let your content bloom, keep your costs moderate, while reducing the risk for you to expand.
The CrowdCache/CrowdDirector duet gives you the unique ability to tailor the exact CDN you need, upscale it or downscale it so it is never under- nor over-utilized. Any combination ranging from a global roll-out of CrowdCache nodes to any mix of providers and CrowdCaches, is now made possible in the most versatile and extendable way, with a single comprehensive control plane.
CrowdCache may just be the affordable “you-centric” delivery network you were looking for and couldn’t afford in the past.
