Case Study: Viadeo achieves seamless global expansion and cost-effective web performance with Cedexis

Viadeo Group the LinkedIn of Europe, China & India Uses Cedexis and Hybrid CDN for Seamless Expansion to 55+ Million Global Users

Viadeo, the European social network often described as the LinkedIn of Europe, China and India, needed to maintain high-quality, cost-effective website performance while expanding from 8 million users in France to more than 55 million users worldwide. Its original setup relied on in-house servers and a single CDN, but global growth and regional network complexity made that approach too risky and less effective, especially for premium users.

Cedexis helped Viadeo implement a hybrid-CDN strategy using Cedexis Radar and Cedexis Openmix to continuously monitor CDN performance and automatically balance traffic across multiple CDNs and origin servers. This improved global user experience, reduced single-point-of-failure risk, and kept costs under control; the result was expansion to 55+ million users, strong operational transparency, and positive business results after two years of using Cedexis.
