Sigma Hub-and-Spoke CDN Topology
Star-topology infrastructure diagram showing a single origin server in the centre and four regional CDN edge clusters (US-East, US-West, EU, APAC) each with their own ring of edge nodes. The layout uses circular() from graphology-layout for the inner spokes, then nested smaller c

When to use this template
This visualization makes obvious the hierarchical structure and distribution paths from a single central entity to multiple tiers of connected endpoints. Analysts reach for it to understand the scope, reach, and dependencies within a system where a primary authority governs or distributes resources to many downstream components.
- Hierarchical datasets with a single root and multiple tiers of descendants.
- Networks exhibiting clear one-to-many relationships.
- Data where nodes have distinct functional roles (e.g., central, regional, leaf).
- Graphs where child nodes can be logically or geographically clustered.
- Datasets with relatively shallow path depth but high fan-out.
- Infrastructure data showing a central hub and distributed spokes.
