The Edge Computing Framework can make decisions based on various aspects of an individual visitor’s request and the application context.
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Content delivery solutions provider Mirror Image Internet (www.mirror-image.com) has launched its Edge Computing Framework, which enables businesses to quickly and easily execute custom edge logic on Mirror Image’s content delivery network.
Many Web applications contain session logic to execute customized actions in real time depending on the visitor. The application, for instance, could present the visitor a targeted ad based on their browsing history, or to display content based on the visitor’s location.
According to Mirror Image’s Monday announcement, ECF can detect a wide range of conditions and settings associated with online visitors and execute logic to drives actions in real time “at the edge” of the network – closer to actual users – increasing scalability while shortening response times.
Customized edge logic is created and deployed across Mirror Image’s global content delivery network through a configuration process that is faster, simpler, and less error-prone than other approaches, which often require customers to write new code. ECF also eliminates platform and architecture restrictions associated with alternate approaches.
“The traditional approach to edge computing offered by CDNs simply does not work for all organizations and applications,” Mirror Image sales and marketing vice president James G. Hart said in a statement. “Meeting the demand for fast, simple, and hassle-free Edge Computing has driven the development of our Edge Computing Framework. We can deploy highly customized in-session logic across our global content delivery network for our customers faster and more easily than any other vendor.”
Mirror Image’s architectural approach to executing edge computing on its network involves identifying commonly occurring, edge-specific criteria and actions in customers’ applications and standardizing them in a flexible, extensible framework.
Further, new edge computing services are created through a simple configuration process, and are easily integrated with customers’ existing Web applications without requiring any re-writing of code. ECF also does away with complex scripting or proprietary tags, and doesn’t tie customers into a particular vendor’s platform or architectural environment.
Mirror Image also announced Monday the availability of packaged solutions that execute in conjunction with ECF, including packaged solutions for online ad targeting, pixel tracking, geo-targeting, content rotation, mobile device re-direct, robot detection, and others.
