Challenges
The company's long-term plans even have begun to consider PB-class storage, which is entirely dependent on its business decisions. Its size has been far more than the general industry. Storage capacity of a single project exceeds 10 TB, which is not that big of a deal anymore in this industry. With 2 million users uploading pictures and videos as big as 10 MB and may reach 20 TB. Here customers will be faced with backup problems, end-user problems with reading videos and geographical access problems. Details are as follows: a) Backup problems: It is quite difficult if you need to backup large amounts of data plan. First of all, too large of data may often cause failure during backup, on the other hand, due to the size of the data, performance requirements for the written storage are higher.
b) User's reading video problems: General video sites usually have a large number of Web servers and video storage composition, Web server provides user interface and the corresponding upload and download capabilities, and to implement video to play. Usually there are multiple users on the same video file for reading producing concurrent requests. So the demands for stability of storage is high but frequently accessed is only a small part of it.
Therefore, how the so-called "hot spots" file be saved on the high-performance storage, has become a problem to be solved.
c) User's geographic location: With the increase in the number of users on video sites and extensive user geographical distribution, administrators can not use a centralized model to meet the customer's network access requirements. The problem with location are that there are multiple routes from northern servers to southern servers or vice versa, and when users access a video, their speed may be reduced.

Solutions
Customer Area:
Widely used in Zhubo Lianmeng, Mengchong area, League of Legends, Jiepai Shipai, and other FLV and MPEG4 format videos website;

Features:
①Upgradeable: The realization of the nearest access to user's Cache, lifting bottlenecks across different ISP access, greatly enhance the quality of user's access and adhesion degree of content providers;
② Reliability: User access data on the nearest Cache to avoid direct data access to source station, which will greatly reduce the pressure from source station server and bandwidth;
③ Security: Source station hidden under the CDN network are replaced by Cache CDN network nodes so that each source station will not to be directly accessed. DDOS attacks and others insecurity elements on networks are resisted outside CDN network, greatly enhancing the security of the source stations;
④ Extensibility: UCloud CDN uses global load balancing technology, when downtime occurs. This will automatically ban Cached node and switch it to a healthy node, ensuring our user's access will not be affected;
⑤ Economical: By dragging FLV playback, when users randomly dragged to unbuffered position, will be downloaded only from the position you drag it from, effectively save network bandwidth resources;

Benefits
⦁ Using UCloud CDN services will allow simpler access to videos. UCloud's automatic scheduling platform can use advanced traffic control technologies and precision scheduling techniques as well as a number of self-service cloud platform API interface to provide customers with more convenient video business support.
⦁ Individual congested node with a large number of source station streaming content from distribution to UCloud around the private stream media access server, greatly reducing the original online on-demand to bring the server load and save bandwidth resources, and effectively bypassing the network giving users high quality and efficient on-demand streaming service.
