The Future of CDN: CacheFly Stands Ready to Serve Amidst Industry Upheavals

In a rapidly evolving digital world, the need for seamless, speedy, and secure content delivery remains a secret ingredient to online success. Whether a company entertains, educates, or is an e-tailer or app provider, edge delivery remains paramount to driving customer acquisition and satisfaction.

The recent decision of StackPath and Lumen to discontinue their content delivery network (CDN) service has left thousands of IT professionals scrambling to source replacements. With only the largest account being acquired by Akamai, a void has formed as businesses grapple with the implications of these changes. During these transformative times, CacheFly remains the steadfast service that initially innovated the CDN industry with their first commercialization of TCP Anycast in 2002 using their best hop routing system and still today, offering an unmatched blend of speed, reliability, security, and dedication to customer service.

Matt Levine, Founder and CTO, contemplates the path CacheFly has traversed: “When CacheFly came into being, we dreamt of a digitally interconnected world, where what we did changed lives. We believe we continue to change the world because CDNs power intelligence (The Power to Learn and Know), and power entertainment (The Power of Play). We continue to envision a world where anyone, anywhere from any place, can go online to make brilliant discoveries and decisions every day because of what the CacheFly CDN service can do.”
