OnApp Develops CDN Platform for Hosting Providers
Hosting providers, now, have the option of a complete Content Delivery Arrangement available to them, as OnApp releases its latest service-the OnApp CDN. This service offers the providers worldwide CDN abilities, facilitating them to develop their own CDN, instead of making an international CDN infrastructure. With this ability, the providers can be a part of the $2.6bn [1] market, allowing them to set an extremely affordable price rate and quality performance CDN solutions that can be opted by even small scale businesses.
A Content Delivery Arrangement helps enhance the ability of a website, as it always transfers the required content to users through the local server. Setting up CDN, so far, saw the users spending a fantastic sum of money in various data centers, across the world, in order to realize a certain amount of functionality. With OnApp CDN, the hosting providers can take advantage of the extra cloud space to offer local CDN “points of presence” with a platform from which users can easily hold and sell CDN space, as required. As a result, the providers can set up an international CDN, buy the extra space and market affordable CDN services with solutions that earlier could only be available from large scale industries.
Once it is released, OnApp CDN will grant users 40 CDN Points of Presence (Pops) right through America, Europe and Asia, making it one of the top five international Content Delivery Networks globally. HTTP push, HTTP pull and streaming of online material will also be possible with the OnApp CDN.
According to the CEO of OnApp, Ditlev Bredahl, “The $2.6bn CDN market has been in the grip of a handful of vendors for many years. Prices are outrageous at the high end of the market, because providers have to get back the cost of running a arrangement of global data centers. With OnApp CDN that’s no longer the case, which means hosts can bring CDN services to market at a much lower cost than additional CDN vendors. At the low end of the market, functionality has been limited to basic website hastening services. We’re making high-end CDN functionality affordable for hosts and their customers, for the initially time.”
“There’s another reason OnApp CDN is significant for hosting customers,” he added. “It means companies that depend on rapid delivery of web content can buy CDN services from the hosting companies, they’re by now doing business with – who know their business, their current website set-up and can grant support as part of their existing relationship.”
The OpApp CDN is a mixture of all the software and solutions from OnApp and Aflexi, recently merged into OnApp. The OnApp CDN services will be led by the previous leader of Aflexi Whei Wong from the offices in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
While talking on the release, Whei said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for the hosting industry. There are perhaps 10 or 15 viable CDNs today. As hosts adopt OnApp CDN we expect that number to grow to several hundred in the next couple of years. With greater choice and significantly lower cost for CDN services, that’s fantastic news for online retailers, publishers, and anyone that relies on high speed delivery of content.”
OnApp CDN works on three main elements:
- OnApp CDN Stack: A complete CDN server software, used by hosting providers, that is controlled via an simple to use web interface. OnApp CDN copies the material from a website to local edge servers, so that the users can benefit.
- OnApp CDNaaS: An international Anycast DNS service, provided by OnApp from 14 different places, located across the world. The CDNaaS is useful for figuring out, which local server is the most suitable for transferring content to the users.
- OnApp CDN Federation: A group of hosting providers that grant CDN space and a platform from which users can hold and market the additional space as required.
The providers that are not a part of the Points of Presence arrangement can also join the CDN Federation. As a result hosting providers now can offer CDN services, to the users, without possessing the entire CDN infrastructure.
Tim Varma, Vice President, Product Marketing at PEER 1 Hosting, a founder member of the OnApp CDN Federation, says: “Internet businesses need CDN services to quickly serve their customers, wherever they are in the world, and the OnApp CDN allows us to give our customers the global reach to make this happen. It means PEER 1 can bring huge value to our customers’ businesses without having to invest in expensive infrastructure. With more POPs available to through the Federation, spanning Asia and Europe, we have the ultimate win-win of giving customers what they want as well as supporting new revenue streams.”
