Mirror Image's Edge Computing Capabilities for Online Advertising Providers
Interactive online advertising providers have unique needs when it comes to scaling out their applications. Since their applications all execute sophisticated business logic — for example, to present specific users with contextual advertising — it's not sufficient to simply push their static content through a content delivery network (CDN). Key elements of the application logic must also be deployed on the CDN often creating complexity, delays and added costs.
Mirror Image Internet enables interactive advertising providers to deploy their content and their highly customized business logic across its global content delivery network faster, more easily and more cost effectively than any other approach, usually going from initial meeting to deployed applications in just a few days.
A wide range of capabilities are delivered with Mirror Image's Online Advertising Solutions, including the ability to:
- dynamically select, customize and serve appropriate ads and click-through URLs in real time based on cookie information, browser settings, device type and other information to enable targeting and retargeting;
- set cookie values in real time to record session information and maintain user history;
- record completions, click-through URLs, interaction with the ad, visitor information and other user activity in customized log files;
- include ad pricing in the real-time response based on customer specifications;
- perform IAB blacklist/whitelist detection and record information in the log file;
- access the server logs with customized content and in custom formats every 15 minutes for reporting;
- monitor delivery of ads for billing verification.
"Online advertising-related providers have special requirements," said James G. Hart, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Mirror Image Internet. "Their contextual applications must perform business logic at the edge, while their business climate requires the ability to quickly scale their applications on-demand, and in a cost-effective and flexible manner. Our new solutions are custom-tailored to meet these requirements."
