Performance Boosts for Indian CDN Providers

Performance Boosts for Indian CDN ProvidersPerformance boosts are always welcomed by content delivery network providers. They help ensure CDN customers are able to deliver their data to end users quickly and efficiently with little slow down, thus improving end user satisfaction.

Performance boosts for content delivery networks typically come via developments in datacentre technologies or the construction of new points of presence. Points of presence (PoPs) are servers located around the world that store the website data of content delivery network customers. This is the key aspect of CDNs and what helps them performance so well, as when end users request data, they are routed to the PoP closest to them, boosting bandwidth and reducing latency.

Many content delivery network providers rely on high performance datacentres from leading internet exchange providers to power their networks. As such, developments from these providers can offer great performance boosts for CDNs.
