Software-defined Application Delivery: Cedexis

In the present fast-paced IT era, global markets are changing. Operations teams are steering away from physical machines in data centers, and toward public infrastructure in clouds and content delivery networks. Virtual infrastructure demands real-time, cloud-native traffic management, and Web performance optimization, which should always be top priority.

Founded in 2009, Cedexis was created to make a better Internet, for everyone and by everyone. The company optimizes global Internet traffic across data centers, content delivery networks (CDNs) and clouds, for companies that want to ensure 100% availability, extend their reach to new global markets, and manage the cost of traffic delivery. Its global traffic manager uses 14 billion real user measurements a day to build a virtual real-time map of the Internet, then use that information to ensure traffic is delivered at optimal efficiency to users worldwide.

Cedexis’s Impeccable Products

The Cedexis Radar Community was created at the outset. Featuring a lightweight JavaScript tag to collect measurements from real users, it provides an online portal that enables publishers to evaluate the state of the Internet in real time, and to make data-driven decisions on network and delivery strategy. Only Cedexis provides unbiased visibility into the latency, throughput and availability of every cloud and CDN on the planet. It helps gain visibility into how companies are serving all end users by collecting data from websites, mobile applications, and custom clients or players.
