Next-Generation CDNs: Extending Customer Applications to the Edge

Websites and mobile applications can't afford to use outdated content delivery networks (CDNs), according to this new 10-page report from Gigaom Research: “Next-generation CDNs: Extending Customer Applications to the Edge,” by Ernie Regalado.

Traditional content delivery networks were designed to cache static content, and can't handle the dynamic content of today's web and mobile applications. This research report explains how you can get high performance, accelerated content delivery with a next-generation content delivery network.

Key Takeaways:
  • Next-generation CDNs are the answer to delivering dynamic content because they can purge dynamic content in real time, making them better suited to the needs of interactive web apps, mobile apps, and APIs.
  • Modern CDNs offer huge savings because they don't have to deal with legacy infrastructure and are built for dynamic content acceleration.
  • Customers using a modern CDN can improve visitor metrics across all categories, including better conversion and retention, more interactions, and optimized page load times.
