CDNetworks, the APAC-leading network to deliver edge as a service, today announced a strategic initiative that will double its 2024 infrastructure investment in the Middle East to drive digital transformation.
This initiative will significantly expand Points of Presence (PoPs), double bandwidth capacity, and add anti-DDoS scrubbing centers, enhancing the digital landscape. The announcement coincides with CDNetworks' debut at the GISEC 2024, highlighting its commitment to the region's digital progress.
As the Middle East emerges as an innovation hub within the global digital landscape, CDNetworks has collaborated with over 30 prominent ISPs in the region, including key players like Etisalat, STC, and Ooredoo, and established over 50 PoPs across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and other strategically located countries.
In 2024, to support organizations to penetrate the Middle Eastern market more effectively, CDNetworks plans to add 30 PoPs for 100% network coverage, ensuring comprehensive connectivity.
CDNetworks' debut at GISEC marks a key step in its commitment to the Middle East, showcasing enhanced network, security capabilities, and its new Cloud Security 2.0 platform alongside comprehensive WAAP solutions. These efforts are designed to speed up the region's digital transformation by offering secure, fast digital experiences.
Antony Li, CDNetworks' Global Head of Infrastructure said
Delivering unparalleled network performance in the region is the cornerstone of this initiative. Our aim is to establish a benchmark resource network in the Middle East, enhancing digital infrastructure resilience and scalability to support businesses in effectively navigating Middle Eastern markets.
