optimal distribution environment.

Features of the service

This service is particularly recommended for customers who wish to reduce load efficiently and at the same time improve delivery performance.

This is an NTT Communications' proprietary content delivery service that uses cache servers installed on the Global IP Network.

Ideal for download deliveries

The service can stably deliver even software whose files are large enough to have an impact on servers and lines.

SCD Portal (customer page function)

In addition to such functions as SCD system monitoring and traffic monitoring, this option enables access logs to be viewed and downloaded.

Excellent support

Needless to say the service includes 24/7/365 support, and delivers high-quality services covering operational and maintenance aspects across four regions: the US, Europe, China, and Japan.

Improving security

The mechanism of delivering content from cache servers can protect customers' servers from unauthorized access and direct attacks, such as DDoS.

Optional services

Overseas

BA Monitoring

Web Site Sentinel

Monitoring performance of Web sites

Do you know how your site looks from the perspective of end users?
"BA Monitoring" monitors the performance of your site from the perspective of your end users. If your site should encounter a problem, you will be informed by e-mail, for example, and you can then check in detail where the delay or trouble is occurring.
Example applications

Monitoring whether a Web site is dead or alive

Web Site Sentinel monitors from an environment close to your end users whether your Web site actually goes down or becomes slower in displaying information. It enables you to confirm the results at the portal site and informs you with an information mail whenever your Web site experiences problems.

Monitoring applications within the Web site

You can monitor not only the top page of your Web site, but also the details of moves of pages in deeper layers. For example, "Search Results," "Shopping Cart," "Reservations," within the site, going down from the top page, and check in detail (drill down to) the location where delays or problems are occurring.
