Content Management The ability to quickly and effectively manage your content is key to a successful CDN solution. With StrikeTracker, we give you the power to command and control all types of content in real time. A full‐featured, browser-based content management solution, StrikeTracker follows our customer-focused usability principles by mimicking the look and feel of a file browsing experience on a standard Mac or PC. All files live in folders, and you can literally think of this space as a single, massive online hard drive. Plus, we’ve backed StrikeTracker’s functionality with our sophisticated distributed file system, proprietary file replication technology known as StrikeTracker DFS.

Within the StrikeTracker console, content is organized into three folders that correspond with the three available delivery mechanisms: CDS for HTTP (progressive download), FMS for Adobe Flash Media streaming, and WMS for Microsoft Windows Media streaming. All content lives in folders, and creating a folder is both easy and instantaneous. Once a new folder is created on the CDN, it is immediately ready to receive content. StrikeTracker supports standard file system behavior, including renaming, file/folder deletion and drag-and-drop operations.

A key performance differentiator of the Highwinds CDN is our content provisioning rate. Once you have uploaded content to one of our ingest points, file delivery to the other POPs is accelerated as it propagates over our backbone, making it available to your customer instantly.
