Case Study: Mozilla cuts cross-datacenter bandwidth by 50% with Rebbix's custom caching proxy servers

Mozilla cuts cross-datacenter bandwidth by 50% with Rebbix

Mozilla faced a significant challenge as rapid growth in its product portfolio increased testing demands, straining its network with repetitive downloads from a central server. This caused major traffic spikes and rising bandwidth costs. To address this, the vendor Rebbix was engaged.

Rebbix designed and implemented a custom caching proxy server solution. This system stored builds locally for faster, readily available downloads, easing network congestion. The solution successfully reduced Mozilla's cross-datacenter bandwidth usage by 50%. This cut costs and freed Mozilla engineers to focus more on product development and bug fixes.
