Virtualization is a method of running multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine, with each virtual machine sharing the resources of that physical computer across multiple environments. It provides businesses with the flexibility to quickly deploy extra capacity or functionality without investing in additional server resources. Recent innovations in virtualization technology such as VMware's vMotion that help migrate VMs dynamically from one physical server to another without incurring downtime and disrupting business services, have further increased the adoption of virtualization. With the help of virtualization, businesses can maximize utilization of their servers, optimize total cost of ownership of IT infrastructure, and simplify disaster recovery efforts.

Content delivery networks (CDNs) have been around for over two decades. They have evolved from their foundational role serving content faster and closer to the end user to include features like the ability to upload content, optimize performance, and provide load balancing. As such, CDNs have become an inherent part of digital-first organizations. Since CDNs impact the global end-user experience and all data moves through the CDN infrastructure, it is essential to gain visibility into that network. CDN Monitoring lets businesses detect and mitigate outages, evaluate the DNS performance of your CDN and improve global performance levels, among other things.
