Case Study: VirtualExpo achieves faster global e-commerce performance and lower CDN costs with Cedexis

VirtualExpo Group Creates a Hybrid CDN Using Cedexis Technology + Varnish

VirtualExpo, a global B2B marketplace serving millions of monthly visitors, needed to improve web e-commerce performance for its vast long-tail catalog while protecting valuable content from piracy and reducing high CDN cache-miss costs. The company turned to Cedexis and its Radar/Openmix products to help design an in-house hybrid CDN strategy with custom Varnish caching.

Cedexis worked with VirtualExpo to route traffic across the best hosting and caching locations by geography, enabling a globally distributed infrastructure with eight POPs. The results included improved global end-user performance, stronger content security, faster response to viral content, and a dramatic cost reduction, with global CDN transit costs cut by over 80% and less than 20% of traffic now delivered from the global CDN.
