Cisco CE-560-CDN for content delivery networks (CDNs) is an edge appliance for delivering live or on-demand streaming media and other rich file formats to the desktop. Managed centrally by the CDM, installation is simple, fast and does not require any local server or IT administration. Utilizing virtual private networks (VPNs) or public WANs, the Cisco CE-560-CDN device monitors and adjusts to changing network conditions, proxies, and administrator parameters to acquire files automatically; even behind the security of a corporate firewall. Network administrators can set bandwidth controls for file replication, and streaming throttles enable CEs to operate on any switched or even shared 10/100 BaseT corporate network. The robust, high-performance Cisco CE-560-CDN solution is ideal for enterprise, retail, and other broadband intranet and extranet services to deliver streaming media or static files to network connected desktop PCs.
