Content Delivery for Extended Libraries (CDXL)

Optimize the Economics Surrounding Delivery of Niche and Long-Tail Assets

The Level 3SM Content Delivery for Extended Libraries (CDXL) solution is designed to solve specific content delivery and storage challenges of those who must effectively deliver niche or long-tail content using traditional distribution models. Because it can be difficult to predict which content will be the most or least accessed from to day-to-day, and as storing all content files on a delivery network can be costly, our CDXL service exists to make it simple and cost effective.

Additionally, by combining the Level 3® Caching and Download service with the Level 3SM Origin Storage service and our proprietary traffic-management technology, we can help increase your online profit opportunities by cost-effectively delivering an exceptional experience to end users who access popular content in your library.
