A company has deployed a web application targeting a global audience. The application includes high-definition video streaming and real-time interaction features. To optimize performance and manage bandwidth, the company must select the most effective strategy. What would be the best implementation to ensure efficient global content distribution?
Using a content delivery network (CDN) optimizes the delivery of web content and media by caching the content in multiple proxy servers located close to end-users. This reduces the load on the origin server, decreases latency, and improves the user experience by ensuring that users receive data from the geographically nearest node. Server clustering mainly enhances load balancing and high availability within one or more data centers but does not by itself solve the problem of geographic latency for a global audience as effectively as a CDN. Data compression can reduce the size of the transferred data but does not address latency caused by the physical distance data must travel. Merely increasing the origin server's bandwidth does not decrease the time it takes for data to travel large distances to a global user base.
