Community Forums are known to have sudden traffic surge especially whenever a hot new piece of news is posted. The traffic surge is tremendous resulting in overloading and crashes.
Shinjiru has the opportunity to provide its CDN services to one of such forum. Having only one server to host its contents, this forum is unable to serve its visitors efficiently. Whenever there are traffic surges both the server and network are unable to handle the load. Having its contents hosted at only one location, the forum had encountered several difficulties:
In order to overcome these problems, the forum had resorted to Shinjiru’s CDN solution. Its contents are now being mirrored at several edge servers, each of which is placed nearer to the website’s clusters of audience. Since then, the number of slow speed and unavailability complaints had dropped to almost none and the forum had pointed that they are able to upload all sorts of high-quality multimedia items without having to worry if the files will affect the webpages’ load time.
The forum consumes 15,000GB worth of bandwidth every month. Below is its bandwidth cost before and after implementing our CDN:
