A content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) is a system of computers containing copies of data, placed at various points in a network so as to maximize bandwidth for access to the data from clients throughout the network. A client accesses a copy of the data near to the client, as opposed to all clients accessing the same central server, thereby causing a bottleneck near that server.
Content types Purple Penguin will be serving for our customers will include web objects, downloadable objects (media files, software, documents), applications, real time media streams, and other components of internet delivery.
Network Technology
Purple Penguin Media's Network operates on a combination of anycast and intelligent geo-location technology.
Users are automatically resolved to a regional network of edge servers closest to their location, and then intelligently routed based on network latency, congestion, upstream ISP & path length. When a request is made to a download server, your ISP will automatically route the packet to the closest PurpleCDN Peering Point, and then we'll route your packet to the closest edge server.
