1. Content delivery networks are evolving from
conventional data storage and distribution
stores into content delivery clouds that set
perfect distribution mechanisms for delivery
networks (CDNs). Cloud storage works
more aggressively to extend the traditional
CDN model. Utilizing the highly updated
and most advance "cloud computing"
technology, content delivery clouds move
computing and data away from local
desktop or portable PCs to highly
automated computational resources like
huge data centers that make data or
information packets highly accessible
& convertible for on-demand servicecs
over the networks.
VPS hosting
2. The key technical backbone of cloud computing infrastructures
& services comprise virtualization technologies,
service-orientation software, flexibility, multi-tenancy, power
competence, and economics to scale The perceived additional
benefits of cloud service comprise the ability and flexibility to
increase capacity to meet high demands, reduced costs, ability to
experiment with new services, and to remove undesired or unutilized
capacity A huge number of companies are entering the domain of
cloud computing including Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AT&T,
Cisco, HP, IBM, Novell, Oracle, Penguin Computing, Rackspace,
Nirvanix and many other multi national technology firms
3. Apart from IT and technology consultancy firms, management
consultancies are also now part of cloud based content delivery VPS
hosting model They offer a wide range of offerings aimed at all
aspects of the phenomenon
4. The other things going on to CDN world include Peer to Peer (P2P)
technologies This is one of the most disruptive technologies
especially for non-consumer practices and its common example is
business continuity
5. They are utilizing cloud networks for safe, efficient, commercially
viable and rich media delivery services Object storage is also
emerging marginally as a universal standard of cloud storage,
especially in cases that involve data storage and distribution of
unstructured content such as images, audio and video files
6. Leveraging metadata through cloud delivery networks with
applications allow a much more sophisticated and mature searching
and sorting based on actual content This works as basic file
systems attributes such as name, size, type, data modified
8. Applying cloud computations methodologies, object storage is
directly connected to metadata approach, hence enabling simple to
store an object along with the metadata As a result when you have
to search for a document or an image, you can conveniently do so
even if the data has been shifted between servers, as the object ID
identifies it
9. Hence, cloud computing is here to deliver the content to end users
faster by caching it at that edge of the network
