Unleash the Power of Fastly's Managed CDN for Enhanced Performance and Maximum Control

Enhanced Performance & Predictability

Fastly's Managed CDN (mCDN) offers an array of benefits to enhance performance and predictability for your network. By deploying Fastly's edge cloud hardware and software into your infrastructure at locations of your choosing, you can eliminate storage space constraints, reduce origin load, and improve mobile performance. The mCDN provides extended origin traffic predictability as your data is stored and maintained on dedicated servers, ensuring consistent and reliable delivery to your end users.

Dependable Expertise & Support

Fastly mCDN customers benefit from dependable expertise and support, ensuring that their network operates efficiently. With routine monitoring and maintenance, as well as industry-leading support, you can rest assured that your network is in good hands. Fastly's team is dedicated to providing the necessary assistance to keep your network performing optimally at all times.

Maximum Flexibility and Cost Savings

Fastly's Managed CDN seamlessly integrates into your network infrastructure, offering maximum flexibility to tailor network architecture according to your business needs. By leveraging existing transit and peering relationships, you can save on traffic costs, rather than relying on public connections. The improved cache hit ratios, reduced origin load, and reserved POP capacity enable you to handle peak traffic efficiently with fewer servers or virtual instances, saving costs in the process.

Access Edge Cloud Features and Upgraded Security Protocol

With Fastly Managed CDN, you can access advanced edge cloud features and benefit from regular feature updates, security improvements, and performance enhancements. Additionally, the security protocol is upgraded with exclusive POP capacity, ensuring maximum privacy and control over your servers. TLS connections, including HTTP/2 and IPv6, are terminated at your edge POPs, reducing origin load and enhancing security measures. You have the flexibility to procure TLS certificates on your own or through Fastly, further enhancing security.

Custom Fully Managed CDN Solution

Fastly offers a custom, fully managed CDN solution on your private network, providing the performance benefits of a public CDN with enhanced control and security options. This solution combines leading public CDN technology with the security and control of a private network, offering a comprehensive and tailored CDN experience for your unique business requirements.
