Depending on the model you purchased, your Content Engine operates either as a
component of a Content Delivery Network or as a content-caching device.
Cisco Content Engines with Cisco CDN software installed are the content
delivery components of a larger Cisco Content Delivery Network (CDN) solution,
which includes content routing, content switching, content distribution and
management, and content services, as well as content delivery. Content Engines
with Cisco CDN software are deployed in conjunction with Content Routers and
Content Distribution Managers to create a complete Content Delivery Network
system.
The CDN solution offers accelerated content delivery, hosting, and other
content-based services. The CDN solution addresses the need to distribute and
receive high-bandwidth, media-rich content across the Internet or an intranet
without performance losses or content delivery delays.
Cisco Content Engines with Cisco Cache software installed accelerate content
delivery and optimize bandwidth usage by transparently caching frequently
accessed content and fulfilling content requests locally rather than traversing the
