This time, we will be introducing Ramp’s solution, “OmniCache™”, continuing on from the previous article on Multicast+.
OmniCache™ is a different eCDN solution to Multicast+, and requires the installation of a cache server with OmniCache™ on the company network. Although it is more labor-intensive than Multicast+, in Japan, where there are few multicast network environments, we think that many companies will find it easier to imagine how to introduce this solution.
The system itself is also simple: when you install the server (virtual server), the videos distributed from Video Cloud are cached in OmniCache™. When end users access the videos installed in their web browsers, they will not be viewing videos distributed from our servers in the cloud, but rather videos cached in the nearest OmniCache™. This makes it possible to significantly reduce network load. Unlike OmniCache™, this product also has the appeal of being able to cover on-demand distribution.

This can also be operated remotely using the Altimeter management software. In addition to being able to set routing rules, you can also visually check the cache hit rate and traffic status as shown below.
This is the third and final post on Ramp’s Altitude CDN™ eCDN solution. As of the end of June 2018, this company’s solution is not being deployed in Japan. We also do not sell or provide implementation support for this solution.
However, there are several companies that are negotiating agency contracts and other arrangements in Japan.
We hope to be able to introduce an example of a company that has implemented this solution on this blog in the near future!
