Managing your content or application on a content delivery network is simple, thanks to Global File System technology. Global File Management enables the management of all edge servers as if they were a single unit, using a peer-to-peer structure.
Install, update and patch only one time for all edge locations
Simplify backup protocols as only one location needs backup/imaging
Reduce backup and other data storage costs
Storage partitioning not required
How it Works:
Without Global File Management:
Maintain each server in the cluster separately, including installation, updates, patching, backups and recovery. Potentially need to maintain separate backups and protocols for different servers.
With Global File Management:
Maintain all nodes in the cluster like a single server, reducing costs, time, redundant data and potential for human error.
