Everything has to be scalable
Now, you know Russia is the largest country in the world when it comes to its territory. That puts pressure on its infrastructure, including IT infrastructure. Everything has to be big and more scalable.
NGENIX(useGoogle Translatefor the English version) is the first Russian Content Delivery Network (CDN) to address the huge local market, according toQuintura blog.
NGENIX potential customers include media publishers, multimedia content providers and software distributors. So far, it opened points of presence in Moscow (their headquarters), Saint-Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk and Vladivostok (see map).
They use UNIX-based solutions, Juniper M series routers and Gigabit switches Cisco Catalyst switches hardware. There’s no list of customers but since it just launched that’s understandable. Having a large territory and good Internet growth rate I’m assuming that more regional content delivery networks will enter the Russian market pretty soon.
