How It Works:
All content types can be delivered on the EdgeCast CDN, and you can leverage EdgeCast's All Edge technology to ensure that your content is always on the edge, close to your global user base. Images, files, home pages, entire websites, and more are delivered lightning-fast from EdgeCast's worldwide Points of Presence (POPs), with 100% guaranteed performance and uptime.

EdgeCast clients can also take advantage of our "EdgeRAM" technology, enabling storage of the most mission-critical content directly into the server RAM of the EdgeCast caching servers at our worldwide POPs.
