Case Study: Nexylan achieves 99.99% availability and automated DDoS protection with Cloudflare Magic Transit

Nexylan uses Cloudflare Network Services to reinforce the availability of major French brands’ business-critical sites

Nexylan is a French premium managed hosting provider founded in 2009 that supports major brands (including Decathlon, Zodio, and Europcar), hosting over 1,000 servers across three data centers and serving 1.5 million visitors. Because customers’ websites are business-critical, Nexylan faced increasingly sophisticated DDoS attacks and found its prior, manually configured protections could not respond quickly or reliably enough to prevent downtime.

Nexylan implemented Cloudflare Magic Transit and Magic Firewall in a seamless migration, gaining automated DDoS detection and filtering, BGP management, Cloudflare Support, and a simple dashboard that lets the team delegate security tasks. The move preserved Nexylan’s 99.99% availability reputation, improved network reliability and resiliency, simplified security management, and strengthened customer confidence.
