In a move to standardize and elevate the Content Delivery Network (CDN) industry, the CDN Alliance has launched several key working groups. These groups, formed with the support of the Alliance’s members, are set to focus on critical areas such as standardization, interoperability, insights, and collaborative efforts within the CDN industry and ecosystem.
The newly formed working groups include 'Dictionary,' 'Low Latency,' and 'Traffic Radar,' the latter being a joint initiative with several other organizations.
The creation of these working groups would mark an important step in addressing the challenges and opportunities within the CDN sector, as identified by the Alliance's members and the broader industry. Over the past few months, these groups have been diligently working behind the scenes, meeting bi-weekly to advance their respective agendas. The fruits of their labor are expected to come to light in early 2024, with the first deliverables from these groups.
Mark de Jong, the Chairman of the CDN Alliance, expressed enthusiasm about this development. According to Mr. De Jong, the Alliance initially focused on fulfilling its mission to 'Connect,' bringing together the CDN industry and community through events, a community platform, and various other initiatives. The establishment of these working groups represents the next phase in strengthening and expanding the CDN industry and ecosystem.
CDN Ecosystem
According to the Alliance itself, the CDN Alliance has rapidly gained recognition as a pivotal organization within the CDN industry. This would particularly be evident considering the recent developments in the sector, including market movements, the EU Fair Share Debate, the EU NIS2 Directive, and the Cookie Depreciation, all of which could significantly impact the industry. The Alliance's proactive approach, highlighted by its successful events and initiatives, has been a key factor in this growing recognition, stated The CDN Alliance.
With the launch of these working groups, the CDN Alliance expects to attract more members and further expand its activities, both in the short and long term. These activities are aimed at addressing the challenges faced by the industry and enhancing its overall impact and efficiency.
The Alliance, a global, independent, non-profit industry association, is committed to representing and advancing the CDN industry worldwide. As a membership-based organization, it welcomes both organizations and individuals related to the CDN industry and community.
The CDN Alliance's initiatives and facilitation of a range of activities would underscore its commitment to addressing industry challenges and representing the CDN industry globally. The launch of these working groups would be a testament to the Alliance's dedication to fostering a stronger, more interconnected CDN ecosystem.
