SkyparkCDN enhanced source protection against overloads

Protection of the source server from high loads has become available to customers of the Russian CDN operator SkyparkCDN with the advent of a new service - the precesh system. It reduces the number of requests to the source, providing fault tolerance and reducing load. When using a prekesh, the source receives units of requests instead of tens and hundreds. The system works as follows: when new content appears, the first CDN server accesses the prekesh, which in turn transmits the request to the source. All subsequent requests for the same content from any CDN server will be processed not by the source, but by the precesh.

Servers SkyparkCDN installed in Omsk and Alma-Ata

SSD provides reading of such data at speeds comparable to RAM, that is, eliminates delays associated with slow storage, "explained Ugay Dmitry, CEO SkyparkCDN. - After installing SSD, the speed of sequential reading of data increased threefold: from 150-160 Mb/s to 500-520 Mb/s, and when reading data in small blocks - up to several tens of times.
