StackPath CDN Doubled Capacity With Enhanced Security & User Experience | StackPath Blog

Marquis Wimberly — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 18:29:48 GMT

StackPath rapidly expands its secure, global content delivery network and improves user experience without sacrificing speed or security.

Last month, StackPath Principal Software Engineer Nathan Moore talked with HostingAdvice.com about how StackPath CDN has been able to continue rapidly building a global network of servers and security services without sacrificing speed or user experience. Since launching in October 2016, StackPath's content delivery network has nearly tripled points-of-presence (POPs) and doubled capacity. One of the major keys to this extraordinary growth was the acquisition of industry-leading Highwinds CDN in February 2017. Moore has had the distinct challenge of merging the Highwinds system with the existing network, a system Moore designed and managed as the Principal Architect of MaxCDN prior to its acquisition by StackPath in June 2016. The goal for Moore is not just to merge the networks, but to architect a unified platform that is both inherently secure and developer-centric.
