[Press Release] EDGEGAP Next-Generation ADN (Application Delivery Network) Implementation Support Service Launched

Beyond Co., Ltd. has collaborated with EDGEGAP (headquarters: Montreal, Canada; hereinafter referred to as "EDGEGAP") to begin offering "EDGEGAP Implementation Support Services" to customers and companies

What is an Application Delivery Network (ADN)?

ADN is a networking technology developed to improve the performance of applications and web services over the Internet by optimizing communication between end users and application servers, reducing response times and improving application availability

ADN is similar to a CDN (Content Delivery Network), but while a CDN is primarily focused on delivering static content, an ADN supports dynamic content and interactive applications. This allows ADN to provide higher performance and security protection for various types of applications, including web applications, mobile applications, and enterprise applications

ADNs are also widely used in industries where user experience and real-time interactions are important, such as e-commerce, online gaming, streaming media, and financial services, where fast response times, consistent availability, and a secure environment are essential

Key ADN features include:

Load Balancing

Improve performance by distributing traffic across multiple servers and spreading the load evenly

Content Caching

Data that has been requested once can be cached, and the next time the same request is made, a quick response can be provided

Content Optimization

Compresses and optimizes images and text to reduce data transfer and improve response speed

SSL/TLS Offload

By offloading SSL/TLS encryption and decryption processing to ADN, the load on the application server is reduced and performance is improved

Security Features

It provides security features such as DDoS attacks and web application firewalls to protect your applications

What is EDGEGAP?

EDGEGAP is an edge computing platform that combines AI-powered ADN and operational orchestration to minimize delays and lags in cloud gaming, providing a high-quality gaming experience

Solving cloud gaming lag issues

EDGEGAP provides a service that minimizes latency in cloud gaming by utilizing AI technology to analyze players' internet connection status, device specifications, and other factors, and instantly deploys edge servers in optimal locations from data centers around the world, thereby optimizing networks and adjusting quality in real time

This allows players to minimize delays and lags during gameplay, providing a smoother and more comfortable gaming experience

Improved scalability

EDGEGAP dramatically improves the scalability of cloud gaming

EDGEGAP's optimization technology automatically determines where to deploy servers across over 350 edge locations and 15 cloud providers worldwide, enabling you to instantly maintain the required performance even as the number of players increases

This reduces both personnel operational costs and cloud infrastructure running costs
