Description

This IDC study provides the 2024 shares of the worldwide commercial CDN vendors. The document covers the market shares of key CDN providers and the "other" category. It includes information about revenue for key segments in the CDN market — namely, over-the-top (OTT) video, web, email and data, online gaming, file sharing, security services, and edge computing. The document reviews the main structural changes underway in the market and assesses how key players have benefited (or failed to benefit) from these changes. It also offers short-term and midterm guidance for vendors."The CDN is undergoing a transformation journey from dependence on video streaming as the growth engine toward security and edge delivery services. This will impact the longer-term competitive landscape and relative market shares of these players," says Ghassan Abdo, research VP, Worldwide Telecom. "Success will depend on navigating this transformation and leveraging opportunities in AI, especially inferencing at the edge."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
