Recently, the advancement of web content manipulation affected to the size of content increasingly large expands and it causes to burden the content accessing on the Internet. This study reports an ongoing project regarding to validate the design of Private CDN(PCDN) by region overall and evaluate the effectiveness of PCDN. In order to achieve the stated objectives this re applied a methodology which consists of five phases: (i)problem specification (ii)solution design (iii)implementation (iv)evaluation and (v)conclusion.Generally, based on the content analysis of literatures, it was found that CDN technology was eminently practical and effective to accelerate widely delivery content around the globe which involves various ISP networks.However, previous studies indicate that applying this technique also leads to several problems occurs in organization especially those who have a lot of branches.Among the problems are, it does not guarantee to data integrity, data ownership, and security.By considering the Malaysian context, this situation leads to the case study in MARA organisation.As a result, this study found that PCDN able to accelerate the local content in Malaysian region and afford to overcome the load access consistently in peak period by distributing burden between CDN nodes.In addition, PCDN give a lot of advantages to the organization which contain a lot of branches in accelerating access by using the current resources.In conclusion, implementing PCDN means that an organization’s security certificates are retained within the walls of the corporation, not given out to a vendor.
