Dynamic Cloud Caches (DCC's)
The Evolution of Content Distribution
Dynamic Cloud Caches (DCC's), provide the business flexibility of cloud computing, the power of dynamic content acceleration and the global reach of the CDN. Please find below details on how Dynamic Cloud Caches increase your performance, stabilize your site and save you money.
Please contact aiCache or Dyn for a free consultation. There are no minimums, contracts or commitments. See how DCC's put the power of the CDN back in your hands.

DYN CDN MANAGER
The Dyn CDN Manager lets customers adjust the amount of traffic sent to each cache and set specific parameters for distribution and routing.
CDN Manager offers three key benefits: substantial costs savings when compared to using CDN provider, improved performance due to further redundancy with multiple cloud zone, and the ability to test multiple instances at once to determine peak performance formulas and traffic bleed over.
Over the last few months, many current Dyn Inc. customers including Twitter, Homeaway, Zappos, Gigya, and Wikia have offered feedback and use cases of CDN Manager and/or field-tested the solution.
CDN manager can cut 100ms in average connection time for site. The automatic failover between cloud instances manages downtime Registrar or ISP-based DNS solutions cannot route user traffic to various caches, as these systems do not avail any advanced features at the DNS level.
The purpose of a DCC is to push content closer to the network edge to assist in routing traffic to bandwidth-intense content sites so that users receive information as fast as possible. Using a CDN has been the de facto best practice for optimising a user’s Web experience.
Max Robbins, President of aiCache, a partner of Dyn Inc., commented, “aiCache depends on Dyn's CDN Manager to enable its Dynamic Cloud Caching services. CDN Manager’s ability to route traffic geographically and its professional support give us the flexibility we require to build mission-critical applications on cloud infrastructure.
With the inclusion of failover technology, Dyn is providing the key element that allows customers to move to our platform with complete confidence.”
