Challenges in implementing backup CDN

Difficult to integrate three different vendors
Effective backup CDN implementation needs three fundamental services. Today, customer has the burden to subscribe and manage these services independently.
- Backup CDN handles traffic when the primary CDN goes down
- Monitor service checks CDN health continuously (Catchpoint, Pingdom ...)
- DNS provider switches traffic between primary and backup CDN (Route53, NS1 ...)

Tough to maintain parity between CDNs
Backup CDN should be on par with the current CDN to handle full traffic.
- PCI/DSS compliant edge platform to handle sensitive data traffic
- SLA guarantee for capacity, performance and security
- Operations workflow similar to that of current CDN

Very expensive and time-consuming
It takes a lot of time and resources to setup and operate backup CDN.
- High Services Cost for three services from different vendors
- Long Setup Time for integrating those services at global scale
- More Ops Cost to manage and operate two CDNs

How does CDN Reserve work?
Zycada CDN Reserve maps 99% of traffic to your current CDN and 1% traffic to Zycada Edge Platform. Under normal conditions, for 1% traffic, Zycada edge platform routes all dynamic traffic to your current CDN and serves static content from it's cache. However, static content is refreshed from your current CDN for every request.
Cloud Service Monitor continuously monitors your service on the Zycada edge platform, as well as your current CDN. DNS Director uses this monitoring data to detect problems and take corrective actions. When your current CDN suffers an outage, it automatically switches 100% traffic to Zycada edge platform. During the outage, Zycada routes all dynamic traffic to your origin and serves static from it's cache. As soon as your current CDN recovers from outage, Zycada switches 99% traffic back to your current CDN.
You can activate Zycada CDN Reserve in less than an hour with 2 simple steps.
1. Configure your service in Zycada edge platform. (< 30 minutes)
2. Set your domain's DNS entry to Zycada CNAME. (< 30 minutes)
