Deliver Applications Reliably Without Sacrificing Speed
Modern applications can't afford downtime from outages or DDoS attacks. Geographical and infrastructural distribution are effective ways to ensure high performance and high resilience - but can come at the price of higher latency, as cross-infrastructure applications require an independent source for organization.

Audiences Have Zero Tolerance for Slow and Unreliable Experiences
- 1 in 4 customers will abandon a website if it takes longer than 4 seconds to load
- Any gaming latency over 75 milliseconds causes player actions to fall out of sync with the game, destroying the user experience
- Call and support centers risk immediately losing revenue if agents working remotely experience VPN and connectivity issues
- According to Gartner, 33% of businesses report that an hour of downtime costs their business $1-5 million
