CacheFly Enhances Its CDN Services in LATAM
CacheFly, a leader in content delivery network technology, has taken a significant step to enhance its services in Latin America. By expanding its strategic partnership with EdgeUno, the largest IP network provider in the region, CacheFly is poised to meet the rising demands for digital media, particularly in the streaming and gaming sectors.
Rising Demand for Digital Media Solutions
The demand for high-quality content delivery is surging in Latin America. According to recent reports, users in the region are now spending more time on digital platforms compared to traditional television. Mobile device usage has dramatically increased, far exceeding the time dedicated to broadcast media. This transition signifies a pressing need for robust and reliable content delivery solutions throughout Latin America.
Strategic Benefits of the Partnership
Through its collaboration with EdgeUno, CacheFly plans to implement high-density points of presence (PoPs) across essential markets in the region. This strategy aims to speed up content delivery, providing enhanced performance during high-traffic periods. Enhanced cache hit ratios for both static and event-driven content will be achieved thanks to local tier 1 transit and peering providers, ensuring that users receive the best possible experience.
Key Locations in Expanded Network
The recently upgraded CacheFly network now features PoPs strategically located in several major metropolitan areas, including:
- Brazil: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Curitiba, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Salvador
- Mexico: Mexico City, Guadalajara, Querétaro
- Argentina: Buenos Aires
- Chile: Santiago
- Colombia: Bogotá
- Peru: Lima
- Additional locations in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Puerto Rico
Significant Infrastructure Upgrades
CacheFly has made substantial upgrades to its network and computing infrastructure to increase performance and efficiency. The partnership with EdgeUno enables CacheFly to deliver over 50 terabits of capacity across Latin America. This enhancement is particularly crucial, given the recent shutdowns of large CDNs affecting the region. CacheFly's ability to provide this capacity on short notice will benefit customers seeking reliable service during peak usage times.
CEO's Insights on the Market Move
Drazen Dodig, the CEO of CacheFly, shared insights on this strategic partnership, stating, "Latin America's record levels of gaming and video streaming demand high-quality content delivery solutions. By partnering with EdgeUno, we're leveraging their strategic data center locations across LATAM, which allows us to build a robust private network that delivers unparalleled performance for streaming and gaming applications." This strategic move aims to ensure that CacheFly positions itself as the go-to CDN provider for clients in the region, remaining agile in the face of rapid market changes.
