Netskrt - ISP-colo CDN

Sun Apr 7 18:28:03 UTC 2024

I get that. We were in the same boat here in Houston up until getting space at Databank HOU2. Since all of the big content networks have presence there, only made sense. We were looking at all of the caching options available prior to doing that, however… and we’ll likely have to keep our Google stuff until either we go to D-FW, or Google comes to Houston.

 Yeah, to date I haven’t been in a place where peering is a reality, yet.  CDN providers sending servers to us has been our best option.

I suppose that depends on the size (bits and miles) of the network and the cost of transport within it. In many areas, space + power + port is cheaper than transport.

I have been trying to get _away_ from caching appliances on our network — other than Google, we are able to pick up most of the stuff that otherwise would be cacheable via private peering; so it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for us to have appliances in the datacenter taking up space, power, and 100G ports, and increasing potential attack surface by having devices that we cannot control directly connected to edge routers.

I understand Netskrt provides caching for some well known online video streaming services... just wondering if there are any network operators that have worked with Netskrt and deployed their caching servers in your networks and what have you thought about it?  What Internet uplink savings are you seeing?
