Apple to flip the switch on its own Content Delivery Network resulting in faster transfers

Apple has reportedly flipped the switch on its own CDN which means it can more quickly and efficiently deliver files to iOS and Mac users running Apple cloud services or accessing any of the conten from iTunes or the App Store.

Apple has historically relied on CDN's like Akamai but is now renting bandwith from various ISPs in order to speed up various transfers. This means Apple customers should experience faster downloads, software updates, backups and file transfers. This also bodes well for the upcoming iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite releases which will rely heavily on cloud transfers for their continuity features.
