Content Delivery Network

Angelsvista Mercury has developed and implemented a worldwide network of servers to reliably and quickly deliver web content. We designed our network based on five years of best-practices experience and hands-on knowledge on how the Internet operates.

Our next-generation CDN is architected to take advantage of current technology and the realities of today's Internet. As a result, users of Angelsvista Mercury benefit from:

• Rapid content delivery to ensure the highest quality user experience
• A network that consistently provides both high availability and reliability
• High cache-hit ratio that improves visitors' experience while reducing origin infrastructure needs

In order to achieve these requirements, we: Strategically place large data centers (POPs - Points of Presence) in key locations around the world Leverage public Internet bandwidth across many top-tier ISPs Continually improve our custom, very high performance, cache server software

Our caching software

Our custom cache server software was built specifically for the delivery of HTTP content over the Internet. It was optimized to work within Angelsvista Mercury's architecture to provide performance, reliability and scalability.

There are many advantages of building a platform rather than using third-party software. Major ones include:

• Ability to develop high-throughput servers
• Faster custom feature deployment
• Improved stability

Angelsvista Mercury's high throughput servers provide the optimal cache hit rates, which results in extremely high performance and the fastest delivery of your rich multimedia content - at the lowest cost. Because all code is written in-house, we respond quickly to our customer requests for new capabilities – putting them ahead of their competition. This not only makes the platform much more stable, but enables Angelsvista Mercury to build in custom monitoring systems as well.

All of this translates to the best performance at the lowest cost.

Features

Angelsvista Mercury's features address specific customer concerns related to their unique needs. Whether delivering multimedia content, images, text files (JavaScript, html, etc.) or software downloads, we have a comprehensive set of features to help. Our features ensure the fast, safe, efficient and reliable delivery of your content across Angelsvista Mercury Network – the lowest cost way to monetize your content.

Larger POP

Latency of web content delivery is dependent on two factors. First: how well the HTTP/TCP/IP protocols interact; second, the distance from the serving location. Since most Internet traffic is already served within geographic regions, the impact of distance on latency is minimal (<10 ms). Therefore, to achieve the best cache hit rates, it is best to have fewer, but larger POPs deployed. Angelsvista Mercury network is built upon this important fundamental concept and outperforms legacy systems based upon optimal network design.

Multiple ISPs

Leveraging public Internet bandwidth is important because it provides diversity of multiple routes rather than delivering over a single private network. We eliminate single points of failure in our network and ensure multiple routes to increase availability and performance. Angelsvista Mercury's routing algorithms constantly monitor Internet traffic to determine the best routes for each visitor at any given time.
