The decision

Three ways to get dedicated delivery capacity

Companies that need more capacity certainty than a shared network provides usually frame this as build versus buy. There are really three routes, and they differ in who ends up holding the infrastructure.

Option One

Build it yourself

You source the hardware, transit and peering, choose caching software, and stand up traffic management, observability and a team on call around the clock. Complete control, and a permanent operating responsibility.

Option Two

Host a vendor’s equipment

A vendor supplies and supports the stack, installed inside your own data centers. The hardware becomes someone else’s problem. The facilities, connectivity and infrastructure relationship stay yours.

Option Three

CacheFly Private CDN

We own the hardware, provide the facilities and connectivity, and operate the deployment. You take on none of it – and the capacity is still reserved exclusively for your traffic, in the markets you choose.

Adoption

Start where it’s justified

Private CDN does not require moving your delivery footprint at once. Most deployments begin in selected markets or for selected workloads, while everything else continues on CacheFly’s shared network or another provider – and it is the most dedicated tier of a path you can enter at any point.

1

Shared CDN

Delivery across CacheFly’s global multi-tenant edge network, when you need broad reach without reserved regional infrastructure.

2

Shared CDN with Dedicated Shield

A dedicated shielding layer between the shared edge and your origin, when origin load, cache misses or egress exposure create risk before dedicated edge capacity is justified.

3

Private CDN

Dedicated edge hardware and network capacity in selected markets, designed around your traffic and operated by CacheFly, when you need reserved capacity at peak or for failover.

These are not sequential requirements. Enterprises with an immediate dedicated-capacity requirement start at stage three.

How it happens

From conversation to traffic

  • 1

    Discovery. Use case, priority markets, traffic profile, peak and failover requirements.

  • 2

    Capacity plan. We size the deployment around your peak and the load it must absorb if another CDN fails – so it is built for the traffic it may need to carry, not only what it carries on an average day.

  • 3

    Commercial design. Term, responsibilities, availability and acceptance conditions, agreed before anything is built.

  • 4

    Deployment. A traffic-ready point of presence takes 14 to 30 days once design and commercial terms are agreed, depending on market, capacity and connectivity.

  • 5

    Cutover and operation. Traffic moves across. We monitor, maintain and review capacity as your traffic grows.

Questions

Common questions.

No. CacheFly owns the hardware, provides the facilities and connectivity, and operates the deployment. Some vendors install their equipment inside customer data centers — that is a different model, with a different set of responsibilities for you.

A network. Private CDN uses dedicated hardware and network capacity across the markets in your deployment, connected and operated as a CDN. It is not a single machine and it is not a private origin.

A private origin controls access to your source. It does not make the viewer-facing edge single-tenant or reserve edge capacity for you. Private CDN dedicates the delivery infrastructure itself.

No. A deployment can begin with selected markets or workloads while everything else continues on CacheFly’s shared network or another provider. Partial adoption is a normal design choice, not a compromise.

Yes, when it is designed for it. Failover load is an explicit input to the capacity plan, so the deployment is sized for the traffic it may need to take rather than only the traffic it carries day to day.

It depends on markets, capacity, peak and failover requirements, redundancy and term — which is why the first step is a capacity plan rather than a quote. We will tell you what it takes to serve your traffic before anyone talks about a number.
