Content delivery describes the delivery of media "content" such as audio or video or computer software and games over a delivery medium such as broadcasting or the Internet.
Content delivery has two parts:
- delivery of finished content for digital distribution, with its accompanying metadata
- delivery of the end product to the consumer
Specialist networks known as "Content Delivery Networks" have emerged to distribute digital content on the Internet. Alternative technologies for content delivery include peer-to-peer file sharing technologies.
Content can only be delivered if it exists. If it does not exist, several techniques and methods can be used for content creation or content regeneration.
Alternatively, Content Delivery Platforms, which are like hosted Content management systems have emerged to create and syndicate content remotely.
