How to Build a Private Cloud Using OpenStack
Building a private cloud with OpenStack is far more than installing virtualization software. A production-ready environment requires carefully designed networking, distributed storage, automation, high availability, and scalable infrastructure architecture. In this technical guide, we explain how OpenStack works, how to deploy it properly, and how to avoid the operational mistakes that commonly break private cloud […]

Eliminating Buffering in High-Traffic Video Streaming Platforms
Video buffering can quickly damage viewer engagement, especially on high-traffic streaming platforms handling large volumes of concurrent users. This article explains the main technical causes of buffering, including overloaded origin servers, inefficient CDN caching, and long-distance routing issues. It also explores how modern streaming infrastructure uses edge caching, NVMe-powered delivery nodes, distributed storage systems, and […]

Infrastructure Strategies for Video Platforms Handling Large-Scale Content Moderation
Video platforms handling large-scale user uploads face growing pressure from copyright enforcement, takedown requests, and compliance monitoring. This article explores how scalable moderation infrastructure helps media services automate copyright workflows, integrate enforcement directly with storage systems, prevent re-uploaded content, and reduce legal exposure across distributed CDN and object storage environments. Infrastructure Strategies for Video Platforms […]

What Should You Look for In a CDN in 2026?
A CDN (content delivery network) is a distributed system of servers that keeps copies of content close to users, so requests are served from a nearby node instead of the origin. This cuts latency, takes load off the origin, and absorbs traffic spikes and attacks. In 2026, the market has split into a commodity “pipe” […]

Why Is Everyone Talking About Cloud Repatriation in 2026?
Cloud repatriation is the process of moving your digital assets – such as apps, data, and software – out of a public cloud, like AWS or Microsoft Azure, and bringing them to private servers, data centers, or alternative hosting environments. Why do you keep hearing about it now? A few reasons. One, public cloud gained […]

Securing Video Delivery: Edge Control for Streaming at Scale
A video-tuned CDN is a content delivery network built for streaming workloads, where the delivery path also enforces who is allowed to consume the stream. It differs from a general-purpose web cache in four areas: queue management, routing logic, cache eviction, and security applied on the media path. That last area is the one most […]

Server Pricing Volatility in the AI Era: What’s Driving It and How to Stay in Control
Buying servers used to be predictable. You picked a configuration, got a quote, and scheduled deployment around a delivery window you could trust. In 2024-2025, that certainty has changed. Not because “servers” suddenly got complicated, but because key components are being pulled into a global AI build-out. AI demand pushed the server/storage components market to […]

Why Video Needs a Different Kind of CDN
Video is the largest downstream traffic category. Video applications accounted for approximately 76% of all mobile traffic by the end of 2025, and they are projected to comprise 82% of all internet traffic by 2026. It’s also the category most sensitive to infrastructure speed. If a page loads a little late, users get frustrated. If […]
