Key Advantanges of CDN's

1. Low Latency:

   Accessing data, especially media, at a closer location, rather than a central, potentially distant one, means you get data faster

2. Sum of Capacity:

   Because CDN's typically have 10 or more nodes around the Internet, the total potential capacity available to users accessing your data is the sum of the individual capacities at each node. This sum is typically unachievable even with the fastest available network links to a single, central solution.

3. Quality of Service:

   Because nodes are typically closer to the end users than a centralized node, less network infrastructure is traversed. This means less jitter, fewer peaks and surges, and overall improved stream quality.

4. Redundancy:

   Typically, CDN's have advanced fallback and routing capabilities that automatically direct access around failed or poor-performing nodes.

5. Cost:

   In most cases, overall cost for bandwidth to deliver data is less expensive on a CDN through their ability to leverage wholesale pricing, when compared with a single centralized delivery solution.

Static data types that can be stored on a CDN are typically limitless, and EdgeCast also supports live audio and video streaming.
