Summary

JFrog's Private Distribution Network, currently not available for public sale, is designed to address the complex challenges of accelerating software distribution in large-scale enterprise environments. This process is crucial throughout the software development life cycle, requiring the efficient distribution of software packages to various endpoints, whether for remote development teams, production environments, or public downloads. The distribution workflows must cope with issues like bandwidth limitations, resiliency, and availability, especially when dealing with one-to-many distributions or high concurrency of downloads across hybrid network topologies. JFrog's DevOps Platform, an end-to-end solution, aims to bridge the gap between delivery automation and network challenges, offering tools like the Private Distribution Network (PDN) and Distribution Edges. These tools enable the creation of a fast, scalable, and secure distribution infrastructure that supports high-concurrency downloads and varied network topologies, ensuring robust software distribution even in bandwidth-constrained or air-gapped environments.
