Pull Zones
This Zone is for your every-day support files. A Pull Zone will automatically pull the data from a location that you specify upon the first request for the file. The files are served to the end user from either a subdomain of netdna-cdn.com or a custom domain (sub domain) of your choice that points to the CDN. The data is automatically purged from the server after an customizable amount of time.
Examples: Image Files, CSS Files, JavaScript Files
Push Zones
This Zone is built for larger files that rarely change. The data is uploaded to an account on our Storage Array which is then automagically pushed to all of our Edge Servers. The data is served to the end user from a domain (or sub domain) of your choice that points to the CDN. The files remain until modified or the zone is deleted.
Examples: Installers, E-Books, PDF’s
VOD Zones
This Zone is built for video and audio streaming. The data is uploaded to an account on our Storage Array which is then automagically pushed to all of our Edge Servers. The data is served from our specially modified WOWZA server using the RTMP (Real Time Media Protocol). The files remain until modified or the zone is deleted.
Examples: Flash, Windows Media, RealPlayer, Quicktime Files
Live Zones
This Zone is built specifically for live video or audio. The live content is received from a stream that is specified. The stream is then rebroadcast to the end users from a domain (or sub domain) of your choice that points to the CDN. The stream remains active until the zone is deleted.
Examples: Live webinar, Radio Station
