EdgeNext

What EdgeNext does

EdgeNext is a Singapore-headquartered global edge cloud service provider founded in 2015, operating a network of 1,500+ points of presence across 290+ cities in 60+ countries with 90+ Tbps of total bandwidth capacity. The platform processes more than 760 billion requests per day and serves enterprise customers in media and entertainment, gaming, e-commerce, e-learning, and telecommunications, with a particular focus on emerging markets in APAC, China, MENA, and Africa. Named customers include China's largest online retailer (handling over 5 PB of traffic during a major sales event), a global short-video platform serving 1 billion monthly active users, CCTV, Giant Network, Meitu, and the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics broadcast.

The company's product portfolio is organized around three pillars: content delivery (Global CDN, Dynamic Acceleration, Static Acceleration, Live Streaming, and Media on Demand), cloud security (Security CDN, Anti-DDoS, WAF, Bot Management, Security DNS, TLS/SSL), and edge computing (Edge Cloud Server, Bare Metal Server). Regional product variants — China CDN, Southeast Asia CDN, and MENA CDN — layer localized compliance, ICP licensing support, and Arabic content optimization onto the global platform. Proprietary technology features include patented real-time cache purge technology, weak-network congestion control algorithms, GOP-aligned edge caching, intelligent traffic scheduling, and AI-driven routing and threat analysis.

EdgeNext generates revenue through a hybrid commercial model combining usage-based CDN billing (bandwidth and request volumes) with recurring subscriptions for security and edge compute services, plus enterprise custom contracts. The go-to-market motion blends direct enterprise field sales for complex deployments with a self-serve platform offering a 1-month free trial for SMBs and developers. Distribution leverages channel partnerships with regional data center operators and ISPs, including Rack Centre in Nigeria, EDGE DC in Indonesia, and Salam in Saudi Arabia. In February 2023, EdgeNext acquired the international CDN business of ChinaCache to consolidate global infrastructure, and it has subsequently expanded into Europe via a partnership with Sparkle in April 2026.
