2024: Expansion of CDN network coverage as VK traffic grows Video

VK on August 22, 2024 announced the expansion of coverage of its Content Delivery Network (CDN). More than 150 CDN nodes with the company's cache servers now cover all federal districts of Russia, as well as CIS countries. The CDN network provides users in Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Belarus with access to content from the nearest cache host regardless of location. According to the company, this increases the download speed, on average, by 20-30%.

As explained in VK, the updated content delivery network is relevant in the face of an increase in the number of users, authors and, as a result, VK Video traffic. Since the beginning of 2024, total video traffic has grown by 30%. At the same time, certain categories showed multiple growth. Children's content has grown more than 4.5 times since the beginning of the year, sports videos - 5 times, and views of entertainment shows in high definition from January to August 2024 increased by an order of magnitude.

"The capacity of joints with telecom operators has doubled compared to 2023. And VK network performance up to 40 Tbit/s. This will be enough even if the daily audience of VK services doubles at once, "said Elena Yakupova, VK Deputy Vice President for Infrastructure and Application Services. - Technical improvements will help users enjoy VK services more regardless of their location. Without delay, watch video in high resolution, listen to music, communicate, master new professions and solve many other tasks. "
