CDN as a Service
Implementing and managing a CDN for your business requires expertise, experience and, specific skills that are not easy to find or maintain. The right resources are in high demand, quite expensive and, one is usually not enough. This is a often problem for small and medium sized companies for whom managing the CDN is not a full-time role and thus not getting the attention that it requires.
Lighthouse is offering CDN as a Service where we act as an extension of your IT team. Based on your specific requirements we define a great solution, implement and manage it at a (tiered) fixed monthly cost. We monitor the performance, follow-up on alerts and, pro-actively, identify opportunities for improvement. We work with multiple, leading CDN’s to guarantee that what is best for your business and benefit from our volume discounts at the same time.
Originally, a CDN was nothing more than a distributed cache to store content closer to the people that want to access it. This not only accelerates the delivery but also reduces the traffic load on the origin server. Over time additional features like intelligent traffic routing, security enhancements, load balancers, firewalls and Edge Computing were added. This has transformed a CDN from a nice to have into a need to have.
In the coming years, CDN technology will continue to evolve as predictive caching, Machine Learning and other AI functions will be introduced resulting in an even more important role within your company.
A partnership with Lighthouse will ensure that you are well equipped for the future without breaking the bank. Volkswagen is and has been our client for many years. We provide them with different CDN’s, manage them globally and support them on a 24×7 basis. We do this for thousands of websites and a huge amount of network traffic.
