Your traffic

Choose a workload. We’ll estimate traffic and requests for you.

Estimated monthly costs

USD per month, before tax. Load balancing and unpriced extras are excluded.

What’s included?

Estimates cover cacheable content. Origin and optional services are added only when you enter their rates. Plans differ in features and coverage; check their terms before buying.

Advanced settings
Split traffic between regions

Percentages must total 100%. The same split applies to bytes and requests. CloudFront charges by serving edge location; this is an approximation. Shared free allowances are allocated proportionally.

Origin and optional services

Paid tiers start with this workload; estimates do not include other account traffic. Enter your own effective rates after origin allowances. Reads use request misses; egress uses byte fill. Functions assume one invocation per viewer request. Zero leaves an extra out of the estimate; it does not mean your origin is free.

Compare a quote you received

This is your quote, not a published provider price. Use an effective rate for the selected traffic mix; tiers, included usage and commitments need to be reflected in your inputs. Sharing a scenario includes your quote details.

Presets are starting assumptions, not measured traffic. Video assumes one rendition and segment GETs; playlists, retries and extra audio tracks add requests. Fill is a byte ratio, not a request cache-hit rate. GB = 1 billion bytes; Google bills GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes; CloudFront estimates use binary GB as a billing assumption.

Overview

Tata Communications provides a CDN for websites, large downloads and streaming video. Its portfolio includes programmable edge delivery, dedicated video workflows and security integration. The Edge Distribution Platform (EDP) combines delivery, security and compute in a separate integrated offer.

  • Accelerate static and dynamic web content.
  • Distribute software, games and updates.
  • Deliver live and on-demand streams.

The company was incorporated as VSNL in 1986, came under Tata’s administrative control in 2002 and adopted the Tata Communications name in 2008. Corporate and telecom reach should be distinguished from the CDN’s deployed cache footprint.

Network

The CDN uses Super Nodes connected to Tata’s Tier-1 backbone and alternate subsea routes. The current CDN page lists 28 Super Nodes; the 2024 datasheet lists 30. Confirm the locations available to your project.

The map uses cities marked active in the published 2024 CDN inventory. Planned locations are excluded, and the country-level Japan label stays unpinned. Pins indicate city centers, not exact buildings or confirmation of present service at every location. Confirm your contracted regional coverage; broader telecom and media-contribution sites are different inventories.

Published 2024 active CDN cities

City centers from the published 2024 inventory; planned sites excluded. This dated map does not guarantee present availability or equal features. Country-level and unmatched labels stay unpinned.

Web and edge delivery

The portfolio includes configuration APIs, JavaScript execution at the CDN edge and image/video optimization. Whole Site Acceleration lists origin shielding, multi-origin support and flexible purge; check purge completion time for your workflow.

Security and visibility

DDoS, WAF and bot-management integrations are advertised. EDP adds an integrated WAAP offering, TLS 1.3 and real-time traffic/threat dashboards with managed support. Check included products and ask about raw request-log export if your monitoring needs more than dashboards.

Dedicated video workflows

Video CDN supports RTMP/HLS ingestion, live/on-demand delivery, transmuxing, archiving and VOD DRM. These workflows are separate commercial components: ordinary delivery does not automatically include transcoding, storage or DRM licensing.

Pricing

Request a workload-specific quote for the chosen CDN or EDP product. Public CDN unit rates are unconfirmed. Telecom and Vayu cloud rates cannot be used to price CDN delivery.

  • Separate regional transfer and request charges.
  • Include fixed fees, commitments and support.
  • Quote edge execution and security scope.
  • Add video ingestion, processing, storage and DRM where needed.

Use the calculator with the quote’s USD rates; enter other service costs separately. A negotiated package or trial is not a universally free delivery plan.

Developer tools

Configuration and CDN management APIs and a self-service portal are advertised. The linked CDN resource collection contains product-specific technical datasheets; obtain the account’s full API specification and credentials during onboarding.

  • Confirm JavaScript runtime limits and deployment/rollback controls.
  • Validate cache keys, purge behavior and origin-shield configuration.
  • Test encoder/player compatibility for the dedicated video workflow.
  • Agree monitoring, export formats and support escalation.

Ask for supported CDN automation, SDKs and raw-log export options during onboarding. For CDN automation, use the documentation for the selected delivery product.

When it fits

  • Enterprise web, software-download and media workflows with negotiated coverage.
  • Teams combining CDN delivery with JavaScript edge execution.
  • Buyers able to scope integrated security or the separate EDP platform.
  • Video services that require quoted ingestion, processing and distribution.

Before you choose

  • Get a quote identifying the CDN locations and media or security products you need.
  • Check purge completion time, Terraform support and raw-log delivery if they are requirements.
  • Budget optional processing and protection separately from basic delivery.
