This process provides a high level of reliability and availability for the integrated enterprise adaptive network. Businesses benefit from having a single, integrated adaptive network to manage, instead of managing each individual adaptation platform separately. Another benefit is the high level of reliability and availability of the integrated adaptive network. Network Optimization Distributed Adaptation uses Intelligent DNS routing technology to enable all the MWS and CAS systems throughout the enterprise to share and load-balance the volume of content adaptation required. If an enterprise user in the Boston office requests sales forecast information from the application server in the Seattle office using a low-bandwidth PDA, the Intelligent DNS routing and Distributed Adaptation technologies will intelligently route the content adaptation request to the MWS system in Seattle.
Businesses benefit from decreased latency in the overall content adaptation process.
Delivery Speed and Lower Bandwidth Costs Intelligent Cache Management allows businesses to leverage increased network performance provided by 3rd party caching technologies. This technology is a layer developed on top of APIs of specific caching servers, which intelligently instruct the caching servers what kinds of content to cache. Again, using the above example of an enterprise user in Boston and content in Seattle, once the content has been adapted, if the content is deemed appropriate for caching, and the enterprise has deployed caching servers at both locations, the adapted content and the associated image files, will be cached at both locations. The benefit to the enterprise is decreased bandwidth usage, and higher performance in the overall adaptation process.
