Challenge – 2
PoPs in Latin America with minimal latency
Latency is a crucial component of guaranteeing the security and quality of services that NextDNS delivers globally and in Latin America; the situation was no different. The company needed an ally who had the infrastructure and experience in the regional market.
In order to offer a better end-user experience with the lowest possible latency, Romain and Olivier and the rest of the team at NextDNS required a partner who, in addition to having many points of presence in the region, had the knowledge, expertise, and availability to strengthen its presence in the continent.

NextDNS turned to EdgeUno for its infrastructure solutions across Latin America and invested in a full solution of Virtual Private Server (VPS) services.

Due to the accessibility of immediate service activation, the NextDNS team chose EdgeUno’s VPS (Virtual Private Server) service, intending to have the lowest possible latency, high performance, and ease of sourcing in Latin America.
“In our business latency is very important and we must avoid it as much as possible worldwide, so for our customers, in LATAM we needed Points of Presence that were within the region and EdgeUno was the perfect platform for this, as they have data centers in many parts of Latin America with the required features,” said Romain Cointepas, co-founder of NextDNS.
