Every request is unique

At the heart of the XD Platform is Adaptive Intelligence, a new software layer that enables us to adapt each delivery to the unique circumstances of each request. The benefit is straightforward: a better, more responsive online user experience.

Adaptive Intelligence includes four innovative features that streamline and accelerate the entire delivery path:

• Dynamic Origin pulls copies of content from the origin to the in-network cache based on usage and demand— resulting in faster delivery, while protecting your origin against overload.
• Custom Cache Hierarchies provide advanced control over object transfers within our network based on the unique characteristics of each request.
• Protocol Maximization dynamically adjusts the parameters of Internet-standard protocols on a per-connection, per-delivery basis for maximum performance.
• Globally Distributed User Agents collect real-time data about last-mile network conditions, providing detailed insight into the end-user experience.
