Forbes reports that VKontakte owns its own CDN service.
It is a collection of a distributed network of servers where the use of popular content, most often videos and games, is common. With the help of your CDN company, you can increase container loading.
It is noted that this is a common VK project and operation: “the parties are now determining points on sites for installing servers.” Also, the social network is obliged to lure the most important bloggers to itself and significantly increase video traffic.
In addition, VK requires the installation of caching servers. They are needed to secure against a possible increase in traffic on the platform and reduce the cost of exports, says Comfortel CEO Dmitry Petrov.
A source in one of the operators told Forbes that VKontakte raises many issues, most likely in case YouTube is blocked in Russia. [Forbes]
