If your organisation is looking for the best way to deliver mass unmetered content to your customers, then the Internode CDN is right for you.

C D What?

First up, let’s clarify what a CDN is. It stands for Content Delivery (or Distribution) Network. Essentially, it’s a series of servers (or nodes, as we like to call them) placed strategically at various points in a network. By doing so, it makes gaining access to data easier and prevents a bottleneck from happening, as is quite often the case. And it helps you distribute content in the most efficient way to your customers. So that’s a CDN for you, in a nutshell of course.

All of our CDN servers are owned by us and hosted on the Internode network, which ensures high performance and allows enhanced network level security against external intrusion.

Most organisations use a different service model, where a larger number of smaller servers are distributed across third party networks and ISP data centres. This leads to an uncontrollable and un-audited level of physical security access. It also allows no network level protection against network security attacks.

So what’s different about the Internode CDN? Well, there are a few things that set ours apart from the rest:

Coverage

Internode’s coverage spans the globe (naturally), with particular focus on the Australian and New Zealand market. We achieve this with a combination of connectivity, servers, raw bandwidth, peering and our International network.

Unmetered content

Unlike other CDNs, ours has the unique ability for your content to be unmetered, making it even more attractive to more customers. Translation : faster and wider reach.

Location

Internode has CDN delivery nodes in every Australian network catchment area. We also have servers in a number of our international POPs for delivery of your content to the rest of the world.

Distribution

First, you supply content to points in either Australia or the US. Then it’s automatically distributed to various master servers and cached to all appropriate edge servers across the world, where it’s ready to be accessed by your customers. Easy.

Reporting

At Internode, we’ve built our own comprehensive database-driven statistics recording system. This can be customised to suit your requirements. You’ll have access to all raw log files related to your service as well as comprehensive and customised reports.

Better security

Our CDN data centres operate with high level physical security including:

• Real time monitoring
• Alarm systems
• Logged biometric access control
• Key access
