Why Cedexis lets you know how your website or CDN performs ?
|
I hope many of you have been around the emarketing for years, and thus there is one question that has always been at the edge of technology, and at the same time totally unsolvable during meetings : how does my website perform at international level ? Cedexis, a safe technology provider tries to help you in the process through a powerful API; and corporate solutions that allows you to assess your providers in a better way. For instance, chart below demonstrate at a given time in past poor performance from my french ISP to one big US hoster, Rackspace.
The aim of the process is of course to assess whether a website delivers performance or not, or a CDN is powerful , cost-efficient, and delivering more to local customers than a traditional web host would perform, by including a test layer on top of each country. I hope you learnt something in this reading, Julien from Cedexis completed my post with a full explanation. No related posts. |
Many thanks for the insight about your app & service Julien, and my wishes for success
Hello François and thanks a lot for your article. May I add some details about how we do it and why we do it.
Cedexis offers its clients a collective intelligence (crowd sourcing) solution that lets you fully control your content and application delivery strategies. Cedexis proposes a dynamically ‘elastic’ real-time monitoring and load balancing tool. This seamlessly integrates your service providers performance, quality of service and costs and covers hosting companies, Content Delivery Networks (Akamai, Limelight, Level 3, Cotendo, Edgecast …), Cloud Computing (Amazon, Google AP, Azure…), as well as other providers that we might suggest should they fit your specific requirements.
We currently generate approximately 1 billion items of information daily on the overall health status of the Internet. This data can be used to route each internet user in real time to the service provider that has the best performance and/or is the most economical. One solution, for example, would be to use the Hosting provider for zones where Internet users would be the best served by a CDN or to dynamically switch traffic direction in cases of possible saturation. The results are immediate: the loading time of pages or videos (http for the moment) is shortened any-where from 40 to 83% in France as well as for the rest of the world.
Some case studies are available.
By revealing the true performance that Internet end users experience CDN are hard pushed to justify their price differences. Competition is, as a result, quite naturally created between the service providers who, in order to differentiate themselves increase the quality of service or whilst decreasing the prices for the entire length of contract.
Clearly the objective of each service provider is to recuperate a maximum amount of traffic to maximize revenues, your objective however is to have the best quality of service at the best price.
You will immediately see why ‘real time’ distributing your traffic and applications between different providers, is the most reliable way to improve the performance of your Internet site.
Et voila
and thanks for giving me the opportunity to explain what our new start up is doing.
