Using a Content Distribution Network
A content delivery network (CDN) is a system of computers or servers that ingest an
incoming stream source and rapidly provides this content to numerous users by
duplicating the content on multiple servers and directing the content to users.
CDNs distributes a heavy load of traffic to multiple locations in order to avoid
congestion on a network that could impact a user’s Internet experience. A CDN is
highly scalable and can make financial sense to website owners as you will not need
to pay for additional server hardware or routing should your website traffic start to
increase or even decrease. The use of CDN technology has obvious advantages to
those users whose broadcasts have large audiences from locations all over the
world. If dozens or hundreds of viewers happen to select the same Web page or
content simultaneously, the CDN sends the content to each of them without delay
or time-out.
To stream to multiple users, the VGA Grid can be configured as a client to CDN.

to view the list of CDN providers
preferred by Epiphan. By connecting to a CDN server, the broadcast from the VGA
Grid can be streamed to multiple viewers. By using a CDN, the maximum number of
concurrent clients is increased, while at the same time reducing the load on the
uplink internet connection.
CDN streaming is a very effective approach when you are broadcasting streams from
the Epiphan solutions and want to add scalability to your broadcast. The VGA Grid
features the Publish Stream functionality that enables you to stream the broadcast
either via Epiphan’s portal or CDN providers to multiple viewers. You can use the
following protocols for CDN streaming: RTSP (H.264), Flash (H.264), ASF (H.264).
