Deliver the ultimate web experience with the content delivery network (CDN)
Discover benefits, best practices and a roadmap for CDN in this white paper

Any organization that routinely broadcasts over the Internet knows the importance of delivering flawless HD video to their customers.

Content providers that operate in highly-competitive media segments are especially aware of this fact, and they routinely incorporate HD video content as a competitive advantage. But delivering rich media content like HD video to an ever-growing online audience, whether across the city or around the world, can put enormous strain on network resources.

To solve this problem, Bell's content delivery network (CDN) allows you to deliver HD video in a manner that exceeds customer expectations without straining your network.

The Bell CDN

The Bell CDN provides your organization with a secure, flexible and powerful infrastructure to deliver streaming HD video and other online content – without the need for capital expenditures.

As Canada's only dedicated, network-based CDN service, the Bell CDN provides reliability, speed and security for global delivery of even the most bandwidth-intensive applications. You can lower costs, reduce the load on your network, and improve content delivery performance for a better end-user experience.

Ensure your content is always available

Your existing web infrastructure may not easily scale up to meet sudden or periodic spikes in traffic. This directly impacts your ability to deliver the HD video content your audience demands.

The fully redundant architecture of the Bell CDN ensures 100% availability, even in the event of large power, network or hardware outages. The Bell CDN has built-in intelligence and capacity at each content distribution centre to respond to sudden peaks in web traffic at any given location and across the network.

Because the Bell CDN is directly connected to over 900 Internet service providers around the world, in most cases, content reaches your end users directly and bypasses the congested Internet entirely.

Secure your content

With the Bell CDN, your organization can take advantage of our robust network and comprehensive streaming service to deliver HD video and other rich media in a secure manner. You can:

Protect your content from unauthorized access
Prevent others from publishing your content without your permission by using URL authentication controls
Restrict access to content by geography to comply with regulatory or licensing restrictions
Employ advanced reporting logs and statistics to assess content popularity, active regions and exact viewing details to ensure your content is being viewed by the appropriate audience

Video platform service

Offered in partnership with Limelight Networks Inc., Video Platform service from Bell is a complete online video solution for the management, hosting, publication and delivery of high-quality video content on the Web.
