Case Study: ExakTime achieves fastest global software downloads and bandwidth savings with CacheFly

ExakTime’s Users Get Only the Fastest Software Downloads

ExakTime, a provider of rugged wireless time clocks used by more than 20,000 organizations, struggled with large 100–150MB software releases that were hosted internally in South Bend and routinely maxed out server bandwidth, slowing downloads for customers worldwide. They needed a high-throughput, globally distributed CDN for performance and scalability but found many vendors to be prohibitively expensive.

After trialing CacheFly, ExakTime simply FTP’d their files, updated links and immediately offloaded bandwidth to CacheFly’s network, gaining fast, reliable delivery worldwide—even during traffic spikes. The quick, low-cost implementation reduced server load, improved download speeds for end users, and delivered the scalable performance ExakTime required.
