Introduction
Newspaper Agency of JoongAng Group, One of the Largest Media Groups in Korea
Launched in 1965, JoongAng Ilbo is a press agency that became the first newspaper in the country to write its headline and titles in Korean instead of Chinese characters, write the articles horizontally instead of vertically and provide online news service.

As one of the largest media groups in the country, JoongAng Group provides diverse types of content and communities, offering Korea’s first database of information on famous figures and the first among press agencies to offer a blog service.
Background
Needed an Alternative to Ensure Reliable Operation of Its News Site for Which Time Is of the Essence
JoongAng Ilbo began using the CDN service to quickly transfer multiple, large-sized image files from its online site to its readers. Also, because of its nature as a daily newspaper, there were many readers accessing the site to check out the latest news every day, so ensuring the continuity of the site was of the utmost importance.
What did KINX do?
Proposal of Web/App Content Delivery for Reliable Site Operation
CDN web/mobile transmission is a caching service for storing the content from the origin server in an edge server to provide customer service at an accelerated rate. By using this service, the data stored on the edge server get transmitted, and this helps maintain the network quality and speed up the response time even in case of a sudden increase in traffic. JoongAng Ilbo decided to use our web/mobile transmission (caching) service, thereby storing countless image files from its site on the server for the subscribers to access them quickly anytime, anywhere.
Effect
Providing News Content in a Stable Service Environment
Despite the fact that numerous readers access the online site of JoongAng Ilbo on a daily basis, excellent user experience is guaranteed by ensuring that the site loads quickly without delay through the web image/file transmission and the use of the KINX CDN infrastructure.
