Hi Donnie, First off, let me just say I'm no CDN expert but have used CDN's several times and am fairly familiar with them.
>From what it sounds like, your asking if you can have a CDN run and distribute ColdFusion applications? As far as I know, this isn't a capability of a CDN, that would be more for something like a mirrored server. CDN's are for distributing content like images, css, javascript and any other client based content. One thing worth mentioning though, is that (according to yahoo***) an average of 80% of the front end load time is spent loading what a CDN is capable of distributing. Also, when your server is far away from your client user, the client based content will be slower however the server response time won't slow down. IE; if a page take 5 seconds to load from china and 2 seconds from the US, the server response time will be the same for both users. It is the time taken to load the client content like images and css that will slow the load time, not the server response. Make sense? ***http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html Thanks, Paul Alkema http://paulalkema.com http://twitter.com/#!/paulalkema On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 5:17 PM, Donnie Carvajal < [email protected]> wrote: > > Has anyone ever worked with a CDN like Akamai with Coldfusion where the > actual content is distributed, not just images and documents? > > Thanks, > > Donnie > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:345325 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
