Challenge

Because of the growing demand for Internet services and the expansion of digital companies in Latin America, CacheFly entered the region focusing on traffic exchange routes to offer a stronger, high-quality internet experience that would make it possible to sustain digital migration over the world.

For CDN companies like CacheFly, latency is dramatically important. Delivering content in the lowest time possible regardless of the location it is coming from. CacheFly needed an ally who could deliver content, have a strong presence and lead the market in the Latin American region. Who, in addition to knowing about the technical solutions of the region, knew the regulations of each country and provided a customer service focus for their business.

Solution

CacheFly found at EdgeUno the ideal solution. Expanding their services through EdgeUno’s hyperconnected network and more than 30 Points of Presence across Latin America and Emerging Markets, reaching users in countries like Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia, among others. EdgeUno provided Connectivity, IP transit, and Bare-Metal Servers to implement CacheFly’s strategy across Latin America.

EdgeUno has been in the industry for the last few years, their team is very responsive and had the expertise we were looking for in the region and specific countries.

During the deployment of CacheFly’s plan, EdgeUno provided the company with professional services for internal project management. This way as the project started running, it aligned with other relevant projects in other continents such as Africa, Asia, and Europe. Making the operations work smoothly, creating the appropriate processes, verification of tools, management definitions, documentation, and achieving agility in their performance.

Results

CacheFly can deliver ultra-low latency video streaming, gaming, and mobile content with reliability and flexibility supported by EdgeUno’s services and network. Additionally, the company increased its presence by more than 30 points across Latin America and Emerging Markets. EdgeUno acted as a key partner for CacheFly, providing the lowest latency, high availability, and a strong infrastructure.

We saw a great opportunity for our business by leveraging EdgeUno’s infrastructure and network. Their proposal was very complete, from performance to pricing, and of course, their latency across the region was exceptional.
