• Content Delivery Network
(CDN), cache frequently
accessed static content
closer to end users
– Dozens more locations
than today’s 4 regional
– Benefits EBSCOhost, and
delivery of PDF, Epub,
Video
• Application Delivery
Network (ADN),
accelerate delivery of
EDS API data
– Compression, efficient
routing
• Stabilize large variance in
page load time for users
far from Boston
