CDNløsningers

CDNløsninger, often referred to as Content Delivery Network solutions, are geographically distributed networks of proxy servers and their data centers. The primary purpose of a CDNløsning is to provide high availability and performance by distributing the service spatially relative to end-users. This is achieved by caching content, such as web pages, images, videos, and other media, at edge servers located closer to the users requesting them.

When a user requests content, the CDNløsning directs the request to the nearest edge server. This reduces latency, the time it takes for data to travel from the server to the user, resulting in faster loading times for websites and applications. By offloading traffic from the origin server to the CDN's distributed infrastructure, CDNløsninger also significantly reduce the load on the origin server, enhancing its stability and preventing it from becoming overwhelmed during traffic spikes.

Beyond performance and scalability, CDNløsninger contribute to improved reliability. If one edge server experiences an issue, traffic can be automatically rerouted to other available servers within the network, ensuring continuous availability of the content. Many CDNløsninger also offer security features, such as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack mitigation, by absorbing and filtering malicious traffic before it reaches the origin server. This makes them an integral part of modern web infrastructure for businesses and content providers worldwide.
