ways to check the safety of a content delivery network
I want to reply to a post on the comparison between Microsoft Azure and Akamai. CDNs play a significant role in increasing the speed of internet loading hence increasing sales and interaction between clients communicate with their partners. Several content delivery network platforms have made great efforts to ensure the safety of their clients’ data (Daher & Hajjdiab, 2018). Data breach incidences have significantly increased, and the need to be minimized by stepping up to the occasion.
There are several ways to check the safety of a content delivery network, which includes; server-side monitoring service is a technique used to test for the speed by sending a request to the server and calculates the respond time of the signal. The technique only measures the time taken for the file to deliver without putting into consideration other file types such as images and CSS files.
Measuring the performance of every end-user is a useful technique that helps in checking out for all the transactions between users and the servers, this is the most effective technique though it was hard to administer and expensive. The security should be of utmost importance during comparison and checking out on the best CDN service provender (Seibert, Sun, Nita-Rotaru & Rao, 2011).
Though Microsoft Azure is preferred to have a complicated user interface, it is one of the safe CDN service providers. It is not easy to apply commands to the server as it is to the others. Due to the long service of the service provender, many challenges have faced the secure service provider, which she has conquered. Security is of vital consideration, too, during the comparisons and considerations.
