Area of development
Challenge aimed at students of Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Telematics,... who are motivated to explore new developments and solutions for their final degree project/master's thesis.
Challenge Intro
A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a geographically distributed multi-service system that allows for the mass delivery of content in an optimal way to any user, being completely scalable through the continuous deployment of new cache elements if necessary.
This enables content to be delivered closely, thus maximizing response times and delivery effectiveness. The capacity (number of concurrent users or bandwidth delivered) of the servers delivering to users is calculated by conducting empirical tests in the laboratory where customer behavior, traffic forecasts, and load profiles are analyzed and simulated to obtain sizing values for these servers. These characteristics can vary from season to season, or the hardware characteristics of the servers may evolve or differ depending on the analyzed scenario.
This situation results in a very high level of testing being carried out, and they have to be constantly repeated, testing multiple combinations to obtain new capabilities.
Challenge Description
We will develop a platform that calculates the capacity of CDN servers for video delivery. To do this, we will take into account the need to collect necessary data and apply appropriate ML/AI processes for the estimations, considering that the data evolves over the years and the platform must be able to adapt to these changes to continue providing accurate estimates.
Another feature that the platform must have is the ability to calculate not only the individual capacity of servers but also to size the CDN servers for new deployments, whether due to platform growth or changes in service characteristics.
