EdgeCenter — a Russian CDN provider and cloud platform. In addition to content delivery, it offers DDoS protection, cloud hosting, and DNS services. The infrastructure is built on Anycast routing and is actively expanding across Russian regions and the CIS. Targeted at technology companies and projects with high fault-tolerance requirements.EdgeCenter is a dynamically growing provider that regularly increases its infrastructure capacity. The historical throughput chart for a number of regions shows a positive trend: average cached traffic speed grows over a multi-month horizon as new hardware is deployed and uplinks are expanded.
What is Throughput and why measure it?
Throughput — the actual data transfer speed between a CDN node and the user. Measured in Mbps.
This metric is critical for:
video streaming and live broadcasts
websites with large images and files
software and game distribution
What do the Throughput charts show?
Average download speed trend chart (cached/notcached) — two key scenarios. Cached — the speed at which files are served from the CDN cache, reflecting real infrastructure performance. Notcached — the speed when fetching from your origin server. A large gap between the lines shows how important it is to configure caching correctly.
Cities with low speed — regions with congested uplinks or insufficient local node capacity. Critical for audiences in those specific locations.
Providers with low speed — a comparative bandwidth ranking. A provider with capacity headroom does not throttle speeds during peak load hours.
