There has been a lot of discussion about Federated CDNs as of late, especially since StreamingMedia.com broke the news of the Operator Carrier Exchange (OCX).
Bringing the federation concept to life will be a complex undertaking. Consider the complexity of managing a network across multiple infrastructure operators, technology platforms, sales organizations, geographies, market segments, and business models. Managing across all of these dimensions demands the ability to measure them individually and in aggregate. Which, in turn, demands a powerful analytics and reporting hub that can handle high volumes and high dimensionality.
Our latest whitepaper — CDN Federation: What Every Service Provider Needs to Know — reveals how it is now possible to establish a central reporting repository that gathers data across all content owners and federation members, while also providing secure, private views of data relevant only to each participant – and how such an analytical hub can drive the success of a CDN federation.
