    "Excellent CDN for enterprises"

    Posted 2021-10-25

    Pros: Recommended for enterprises.
    Excellent response times, 230% faster serving of images on azure blob storage, 200% faster serving of videos on azure blob storage.
    Ability to use multiple CDN networks. Azure provides 3 CDNs :
    1. Akamai CDN
    2. Verizon CDN (edgecast CDN) : offers Standard and premium
    3. Azure CDN
    Each CDN has its own special features which makes a multi-CDN infrastructure very fast.
    Azure has more datacenters and regions than Google Cloud and AWS.
    Hence, very fast response times.
    Here's what tests say:
    Test Image: 5MB image with 1M requests per second.
    Latency comparison:
    Azure CDN : 5ms consistent latency
    AWS CloudFront : 40ms consistent latency
    Google Cloud CDN : 270ms fluctuating latency
    Azure has more CDN nodes than any other cloud provider.

    Cons: Azure CDN does not provide dynamic acceleration of web content, but the other 2 CDNs provide it luckily.

    Overall: Recommended for enterprises serving images or any other content.
    Recommended for e-commerce sites.
    Recommended for any media assets.
