Display a Seamless Website Experience, Even When Your Servers Are Down, with Bizfly CDN and Bizfly Simple Storage.

First impressions are crucial, and a website that takes longer than a second to load can see a drastic drop in user engagement, customers, and potential revenue. Even a slight increase in load time can cause significant damage.

To maximize revenue from a website or application, it’s essential to maintain the highest possible performance.

For over 20 years, CDN technology has been a familiar concept to businesses, helping to ensure the stability of websites and applications. From entertainment and e-commerce to finance and banking, businesses of all types rely on CDNs to boost their online platforms’ speed and performance.

The primary role of a CDN is to ensure the best possible user experience. It does this by caching data from an origin server and then distributing it to multiple servers within the CDN network, known as edge servers, located closer to the end user. This enables the CDN to deliver content quickly when a user accesses the website.

However, what happens when a website experiences server issues or overload? This is where the optimization process may face challenges.

An online bookstore with a vast collection of product images utilized Bizfly CDN to ensure optimal content delivery to users across different regions in Vietnam. Bizfly Cloud’s CDN excels in identifying the fastest network route to distribute data to the nearest user, ensuring content, product image, and video delivery in under a second. Combined with image optimization features, such as size reduction while maintaining quality and format conversion, the website also guarantees stable, optimized image loading and an enhanced user experience.

Typically, when a user accesses a website, a CDN serves cached content from its edge servers. For uncached content, the CDN retrieves data directly from the origin server, caches it, and delivers it to the user. With the rapid increase in data as websites continuously update their product offerings, the infrastructure’s burden becomes heavier, potentially compromising the high-quality user experience. If the origin server encounters issues due to overload or hardware failures, the CDN may not cache the content, resulting in the website failing to display information.

The solution lies in combining Bizfly Simple Storage (S3), a scalable data storage service, with the CDN. Bizfly Simple Storage is a pioneering Object Storage system in Vietnam, compatible with the S3 SDK standard. By simultaneously storing website data on the origin server and S3, the CDN can retrieve data from S3 instead of directly from the origin server. This approach reduces the load on the origin server and prevents potential overload issues.

Specifically, data is uploaded directly to the storage and then pushed to the entire CDN cluster. From there, the CDN distributes it to the nearest user device. Bizfly Cloud provides tools for automatic data synchronization from the origin server to S3 (via API) and manual synchronization, allowing businesses to choose the approach that best suits their needs.

In the event of any issues with the origin server, where the CDN cannot access it to retrieve content, data from S3 is pushed to the CDN, ensuring that the website can still respond with the necessary files and maintain the user experience. This deployment model ensures that the website remains stable and capable of displaying content even when the website’s server system encounters problems, providing a seamless user journey.

Additionally, by eliminating the need for the CDN to retrieve data directly from the origin server, we reduce the load on the server and prevent overload situations. This frees up the origin server for other tasks, creating a more efficient operation of the website and its underlying infrastructure. Leading brands such as Fahasa, Sapo, IvyModa, vntrip, and Soha Game have trusted Bizfly CDN and Bizfly Simple Storage solutions to optimize their website performance and speed.
