BaishanCloud Dynamic Acceleration
Overview
How people interact with online content has changed drastically over the last decades. From social media to online shopping, users expect a fast, interactive, and personalized experience everywhere they go and on any device they are using. However, the transformation that makes the content interactive and instant often make the application slower. Industry surveys show that if a page takes more than 3 seconds to load, over 50% of users will terminate the visit. Accelerating dynamically generated content requires an end-to-end solution that overcomes the network congestion delay, cross-country bottlenecks, and packet loss along the way in order to deliver the content to the end-users. BaishanCloud’s Dynamic Acceleration platform is designed to solve this issue by deploying edge servers globally close to the end-users with the advanced TCP optimizations and network optimization allows content owners to focus on creating content for their users and rely on BaishanCloud to guarantee the performance.

Reliability, Capacity, and Scale:
Service highlights -
1. Deliver high-quality streams globally with a trusted partner that has set benchmarks for performance and reliability at scale. When a streaming event or Over-the-Top (OTT) service must succeed, the world’s most successful brands turn to Akamai’s Adaptive Media Delivery.
2. Quality Through Technology, Innovation, and Experience: Since 1998, Akamai’s CDN market success has supported continuous investment in network capacity and technology innovations, to stay ahead of online audience demand.
3. Proximity — Closeness Counts: Even the highest-quality networks are subject to the Internet’s realities of latency, congestion, and packet loss, which can significantly limit online video quality. Akamai has the most pervasive content delivery network (CDN), which minimises the impact of network congestion for consistent viewing experiences. With more than 240,000 servers in more than 130 countries and within more than 1,700 networks around the world, Akamai remains closer to the audience, for the lowest latency and highest quality.
MediaScaleX // Cache
The MediaScaleX // Cache platform provides caching and streaming functions for VOD, Live and Linear streaming services, with support for HLS, DASH and HSS packages. It can be deployed as an Origin Shield Cache, an Intermediate Cache or an Edge Cache to scale streaming video services.
Using carefully qualified COTS hardware platforms, MediaScaleX // Cache leads the market in streaming density from a single server. The software-defined solution also supports media businesses looking to deploy in virtualized or containerized environments.
MediaScaleX // Cache enables Content Service Providers to proliferate unicast streams, offloading traffic from backbone networks and reducing network contention. Caching, not multi-casting, is required in cloud DVR and Time-Shifted TV use cases so it is an essential component of a fully-featured OTT service.
MediaScaleX // Cache enables large-scale Providers to transition from public CDN services to private CDN platforms, either as an owned & operated platform or as a private managed service. This reduces costs, increases traffic visibility, and creates an opportunity for Content Providers and Internet Service Providers to partner on delivering high value video services to consumer customers.
For Direct to Consumer streaming businesses, MediaScaleX // Cache enables the OTT service to scale cost-effectively while improving content delivery quality and latency.
