Looking to hire a tech expert with experience in CDN
 

Hi all! We are looking to hire a tech expert with experience in CDN systems. Specifically, we want to move all of our video onto a CDN service, currently looking at http://www.maxcdn.com/solutions/, and have it set up so that the access is restricted to current members (local htaccess file ccbill/strongbox setup).

We are also interested in hearing from adult focused CDN services, as video can be a lot of bandwidth.

Email David at [email protected] for the job and details. Thanks!

I still dont see point in CDN services,i mean it's bandwidth is much more expensive compared to classic one yet what does it do,it simply direct user to server with best response.If my goal would be to provide best possible connection for user,then i would do following:
1.Identify from where most of users are coming -
If they coming mostly from usa and west europe,then i would take one ordinary server in west cost datacenter,one in east cost datacenter,and one in Amsterdam or London(again depend from which part of europe most of users coming,if there is more users from uk then london,if more from germany/france/etc then amsterdam)
2.Then once i would get all required servers,to install geo proxy on httpd level,where once user is detected from where he is coming,it would be proxied to correct server.This would not be good just for geo purpose,if you use proxy program like nginx or haproxy it actually help on reducing bandwidth usage and server load as well.

Using CDN removes the headache of scaling from your head completely...

That is correct,but for the price which most of companies ask for it i am willing to have that headache :)
Plus i bet once you set system to work it is no longer needed to adjust anything(unless you add new servers into network)

For the most part, this should be fairly easy to set up. What CMS are you using?

I am happy to help, contact me if you want to chat :)
