All Zmags publications are delivered to readers through a Content Delivery Network (CDN) called Akamai. This brings speed, stability, scalability, security and availability to your online publications. That was a lot of ’bilities, so let’s take a look at how a CDN works and why it’s so valuable.

In essence, a CDN is a huge network of servers and infrastructure. In the case of Akamai, the world’s leading CDN provider, this network consists of more than 34.000 servers in 70 countries, with several thousand servers across the US alone.

Returning readers of this blog will recognize that it is now highlighted on the Zmags main website. The reason is that we want to reach out to more than just users of our sophisticated digital publishing solution. Some of the blog posts you will read going forward will be based on usage of our tools, but you will also find stories with a broader approach. These could be stories about latest trends in marketing and publishing or some goodies for Flash developers.
