SDL Content Delivery

A dynamic web environment

SDL Tridion’s content delivery architecture enables your organization to develop a truly dynamic web environment. It is designed to ensure that your customers interact with a high-performance website regardless of content complexity and dynamic delivery requirements.

Running on a variety of infrastructure platforms, content delivery is separate from content management, ensuring that you publish only approved content outside of the corporate firewall. Our content delivery offering provides flexible delivery protocols, dynamic and static content assembly and support for a broad range of application servers.

Functional overview

Presentation Server enables your organization to publish robust and scalable websites and web applications. Presentation Server provides storage-, link- and cache-management capabilities for high-performance web environments.

Dynamic Content Broker enables you to deliver dynamic content based on page context, queries and visitor profiles, ensuring that visitors find relevant information quickly.

Content Services enables you to access published content and marketing assets through the SDL Tridion RESTful web service that uses the OData protocol to simplify access and content discovery.

In addition, different types of applications (such as eBanking and eCommerce applications) and portals can access integrated content.

Secure Content Delivery ensures that sensitive or confidential content is accessible by those with user accounts or permissions. You can control access by providing permission to predefined groups of employees, customers or suppliers.

What's new

Enterprise readiness. SDL Tridion 2011 brings a number of substantial engineering enhancements to Content Delivery architecture to allow for higher publishing throughput and multi-threaded deployment for high-volume publishing.

Storage model. Define custom storage rules to publish assets to dedicated servers in your environment, content delivery networks (e.g. Akamai) or 3rd party providers (e.g. YouTube). Making use of JPQL, the storage model natively supports transactional deployment.

Content Services module. Offers a robust and uniform way to share information beyond your CMS environment. The RESTful web service takes care of dynamic links, targeting and OAuth support. Content Services follows the latest best practices for serving content to social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
