What Is Huawei Cloud CDN?

Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a smart virtual network on the Internet infrastructure. CDN caches origin content on points of presence (PoPs) closer to users, so content can load faster. CDN speeds up site response and improves site availability. It breaks through the bottlenecks caused by low bandwidth, heavy access traffic, and uneven distribution of PoPs.

Huawei Cloud CDN caches origin content on PoPs across the globe. Users can get content from the nearest PoPs instead of from the origin server far away from them. Using preset policies (including content types, geological locations, and network loads), CDN provides users with the IP address of a PoP that responds the fastest. Users get the requested content faster than would have otherwise been possible.
