Application Scenarios

Overview

Huawei Cloud CDN provides the following four types of services:

Service Type

Scenario

Website acceleration

Web portals, e-commerce platforms, news apps, and user generated content (UGC)-focused apps. CDN can speed up distribution of static content such as images and small files.

Download acceleration

Download clients, game clients, app stores, and websites that provide download services based on HTTP or HTTPS

On-demand service acceleration

On-demand video/audio services, such as online education websites and video sharing websites

Whole site acceleration

Websites with dynamic and static content and sites with abundant ASP, JSP, or PHP requests

Website Acceleration

CDN is perfect for web portals, e-commerce platforms, news apps, and user generated content (UGC)-focused apps. It can speed up distribution of static content such as images and small files. It provides excellent acceleration for static content associated with acceleration domain names. It allows you to customize cache policies for caching content on CDN PoPs. CDN can cache ZIP, EXE, WMV, GIF, PNG, BMP, WMA, RAR, JPEG, JPG files and more.

Download Acceleration

CDN is useful for download clients, game clients, app stores, and websites that provide download services based on HTTP or HTTPS. An increasing number of new services need to update software in real time. Conventional download services need to provide even more and larger downloads. If origin servers have to handle all these requests, it places tremendous strain on these servers and results in bottlenecks. CDN can distribute content to PoPs, ease the pressure on origin servers, and speed up downloads.

On-Demand Service Acceleration

For customers providing on-demand audiovisual services, CDN is a must. Such on-demand services include online education, video sharing, and music/video on demand. Conventional on-demand services put a heavy load on servers and consumes great bandwidth. Low-speed services compromise user experience. CDN can deliver content to all PoPs. It ensures fast, reliable, and secure acceleration for such services. Users are then able to get that content from nearby PoPs anywhere and anytime.

Whole Site Acceleration

CDN is a good option for websites that consist of both dynamic and static content and for sites with abundant ASP, JSP, or PHP requests. Whole site acceleration accelerates both dynamic and static content. It serves static content from nearby PoPs and pulls dynamic content via the fastest possible route. As such, clients can load dynamic pages faster by bypassing congested routes.
