The foundation of all services in the Cotendo CDN and Site Acceleration Suite, security-centric system architecture minimizes and instantly mitigates service attacks.

2. Cotendo has designed every aspect of its intelligent software and services
architecture, from core to edge, to assure system stability and the security and
confidentiality of content, information, and transactions flowing through the
Cotendo network. Security-centric architecture and processes prevent direct
access, attacks and intrusions by shielding customers’ origin servers. Plus,
aproprietary platform protects against the exploits that make many CDN
providers vulnerable to attacks. Cotendo provides maximum efficiency and
unparalleled fortification for content delivery and Domain Name Services (DNS),
with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance, SSL
transaction security, and top-level physical security. Cotendo’s multi-level
security ensures sensitive data is highly protected— by powerful, stable,
redundant systems—without risk of data leaks, loss or compromise.

3. Security-centric Architecture
The foundation of all services in the Cotendo CDN and Site
Acceleration Suite, security-centric system architecture minimizes and
instantly mitigates service attacks. Cotendo’s distributed network
architecture insulates content from the vulnerabilities of typical DNS
and HTTP services, protecting sensitive data from loss
or compromise.

5. Bypassing off-the-shelf CDN solutions, vulnerable to a long
list of exploits, Cotendo developed a robust, proprietary
content delivery network to elevate protection and reliability.
Additionally, Cotendo’s servers, configured with redundancy
in mind from the start, are monitored 24/7 to ensure 100%
availability for customers and their end users.

6. Distributed DNS configuration.
To assure the integrity of the Cotendo configuration, all the
critical data on how to handle the network, customer traffic, and
configurations is managed on
the central management server. Configurations update within one
minute of a change, and keeping the entire DNS configuration in
memory and distributed across the entire network ensures service
continuity, even if the main server fails.

7. Built-in redundancy and
failover.
Cotendo Points of Presence (POPs) are
clusters of servers designed with “virtual
clusters” that include built-in redundancy
and automatic failover—both within and
between POPs.

8. 24/7 monitoring.
Cotendo’s Site Assure and other tools monitor server and POP
activities aroundthe-clock. Cotendo quickly tracks, in real
time, any attack attempts on the system, and isolates and
resolves problems before they affect any customer. Cotendo
proactively detects potential problems in a specific server or
POP and can automatically failover or reroute to another
location to ensure uninterrupted service.
