Common Scenarios
-
Cost-Effectiveness: Generates fewer costs on downlink bandwidth than dedicated bandwidth. This effectively offloads bandwidth pressure on origin servers.
-
High-Performance: Adopts the distributed system architecture and provides high-performance Alibaba Cloud caching software to achieve high stability and efficiency.
- Efficient Scheduling: Supports real-time monitoring of full data based on domain names and intelligent scheduling based on services.
-
Reduced Back-to-Origin Costs: Works with Object Storage Service (OSS) to reduce up to 66.7% of back-to-origin costs.
-
High Performance: Adopts the distributed system architecture and provides high-performance Alibaba Cloud caching software to achieve high stability and efficiency.
- Efficient Scheduling: Supports real-time monitoring of full data based on domain names and intelligent scheduling based on services.
