Migrating and offloading your CDN to Public CDN

Many OTT service providers are struggling to scale up their video CDN solutions. They have certainly invested in on-premises solutions, but as their services grow in popularity and demand, they need to support yet more traffic for more subscribers. This situation is putting a strain on their on-premises infrastructure, and they are faced with either investing even more in their on-premises solution or offloading their video CDN traffic to a public cloud.
The CDN selector is a tool that allows one to choose which CDN to use for each request, which can be helpful for offloading on-premises video CDN traffic to a public cloud.

Key advantages of using CDN

There are several benefits to using a CDN selector to offload on-premises video CDN traffic to a public CDN. First off, it can help improve performance and secure service continuity. MedOne CDN follows the well-known MedOne commitment to service continuity and site robustness, which are spread across different Data centers in the MedOne cloud. Therefore we can guarantee MedOne CDN will ensure your service continuity. Also, with our physical data center present in Israel, MedOne CDN can provide low-latency CDN to the Israeli market and neighboring countries.

Second, using a CDN selector can help to reduce costs. MedOne CDN are a pay-as-you-go service, meaning pay is set in accordance to the bandwidth used, which means it can save you money compared to an on-premises CDN, which requires purchasing and maintaining your servers.

Third, using a CDN selector can help improve security. MedOne CDN uses various security measures to protect valuable content, including DDoS protection, keeping all content safe from unauthorized access and cyber attacks.

There are a few existing solutions that you can use to offload on-premises video CDN traffic to a public cloud. The best option is the MedOne CDN selector, a built-in feature of MedOne CDN which enables one to choose which CDN to use for each request, define a set of rolls and automated scenarios, or on-the-fly configuration.
If you experience a sudden increase in traffic, you can easily migrate your requests to MedOne CDN – and handle the load.
