How Does It Work?
Edge Caching is a group of servers strategically deployed in Hostway's multiple data centers in four continents, including North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Together, the servers determine the fastest route to speed your data to end-users. The Web objects are retrieved in parallel with Hostway's patent-pending technology.
A content delivery network enhances the user experience in three important ways:
- Faster load times mean less time spent waiting for content.
- Distributed content eliminates the impact of heavy traffic or outages in a single area, increasing your Web site availability.
- Swift data transmission makes audio and video files play more smoothly as they download.
With Edge Caching, data is never far away from the viewer. It is a cost-effective way to quickly deliver large media files anywhere in the world while ensuring your Web site's availability.
