Case Study: NI achieves faster global large-file downloads and cost savings with Cloudflare

NI - Customer Case Study

NI, the world’s leading provider of automated testing and measurement tools, needed a reliable way to deliver large software downloads to a global, mission‑critical customer base. Their previous CDN regularly evicted big files from cache, routing downloads to NI’s Austin origin and causing slow speeds, customer complaints and high bills—issues that undermined trust in a technically focused brand.

After benchmarking multiple providers from global monitoring points, NI chose Cloudflare for its superior worldwide performance (including China). By enabling Argo Smart Routing and using Cloudflare Workers, NI dramatically improved download speeds, cut customer complaints, reduced costs, and gained flexible customization plus built‑in DDoS and WAF protection.
