How it Works
With Cloud Storage, you upload your content through FTP or RSYNC to a designated Distribution Cloud hostname. Once uploaded, your content is instantaneously replicated to a geographically diverse storage facility. The storage repositories are located in geographically and network diverse locations to ensure high availability and optimum performance. Subsequently, your content can be accessed via a standard HTTP Web call.

- Real-time replication and access to your content - no delays to get access to your content
- Geographic and network diversity - not just internal datacenter replication
