How Asians Cloud CDN works

Asians Cloud (Content Delivery Network) is a content delivery network (CDN). We serve as an internet intermediary, providing a fast CDN service to accelerate your network, a custom node,DNS acceleration, and free SSL certification to improve the efficiency of content transmission to your end customers.

Your application programming interfaces (API) can be used to distribute web content through our CDN. You and your customers both have the ability to develop content (customer-generated content) and (user-generated content). Asians Cloud CDN service then improves the efficiency of that content's transmission by automatically storing copies at intermediate locations on a temporary basis. The technique of storing these copies is referred to as caching, and the server locations where they are stored as caches.

Asians Cloud CDN service is delivered using custom nodes, which are major internet access points. When distributing content to end-users, Asians Cloud deploys custom nodes where their link to the internet decreases network transit time. Asians Cloud's cache servers are clustered on each custom node. When your end-users request your content items, Asians Cloud provides them from the cache location that is nearest to them.

Asians Cloud CDN's caches only receive and handle requests for content items from your end-users. You choose which objects will be cached, for how long, who will be able to access them, whether they will be encrypted while transmitted over the internet, and when they will be removed from the caching service. You make these selections by configuring Asians Cloud's CDN Service to meet your individual needs.

To use Asians Cloud's CDN service, you must first figure out which of your application servers will be responsible for providing the original content objects for each of your domains (e.g: example.com). Physical servers in a data center, hosting facility or applications running on cloud services like Cloudflare, or any combination of the two can be used as application servers. Asians Cloud uses the terms origin site and origin station interchangeably to describe these source servers.

When Asians Cloud cache receives a request for a content object, it downloads it from the proper origin server for the first time. If multiple origin servers are chosen, the cache will distribute the fetches' processing load across them (based on the configuration criteria set by you). After fetching the content object, the cache saves a copy and sends the response to the end-user.

When an end-user requests the same content object after the first time, Asians Cloud cache responds by retrieving the cached copy from storage (or memory) and immediately delivering it to the end-user – the original copy would not be fetched twice until the original content object expires or becomes invalidated.
