Our online products, especially our apps and e-papers, require not only an extremely reliable and powerful infrastructure for processing data, but also fast and massively parallel delivery of data to a large number of customers and subscribers. To this end, we have developed our Content Delivery System (CDS), which is based on a large number of independent cache servers distributed across a wide variety of data centres and is designed for maximum efficiency in delivering data to end users.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The CDS ensures that our digital offerings, such as the app<\/a> and ePaper, run smoothly and without delays. To this end, we have leased independent servers from various hosting providers in Germany. These servers act as cache servers, which are proactively supplied with the necessary data by the online production systems. This ensures that you always access a pre-filled cache, which significantly improves the response times of our applications.<\/p>\n

Our caching algorithms are specifically tailored to the requirements of our online products, enabling us to achieve maximum performance at all times. In addition, our caching platform is flexible and can be expanded at any time, even internationally. Currently, all servers are located in Germany to guarantee GDPR compliance. Thanks to GeoDNS, we can determine the optimal server location for our customers’ geographical access and rent and integrate additional cache servers there to increase efficiency.<\/p>\n

By working according to the cache tier model, which includes the edge and origin shield tiers, we create an infrastructure that offers maximum performance without compromising data protection.<\/p>\n

To guarantee maximum operational reliability, all servers are connected to the internet via Gigabit connections, eliminating bandwidth bottlenecks. If a caching server fails, its work is automatically taken over by the remaining servers via DNS redirection. Of course, all CDS caching servers are also integrated into our monitoring system and are monitored around the clock (24\/7).<\/p>\n

If you experience performance challenges when delivering your digital content, our custom cache processes can help. We ensure that each customer receives their own cache processes to avoid overlap.
\nOur infrastructure improves transparency and collaboration through separate processes and the ability to set specific cache settings for each customer. This not only ensures speed, but also guarantees that your content is stored and processed in accordance with data protection regulations in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
