Edge acceleration and AI services

CDN Edge

Bring content delivery and AI traffic to the edge

Websites, APIs, downloads, media streams and model requests enter IXCDN edge nodes first. Traffic is processed by domain, path, method, cache policy and inference policy before being served, forwarded or protected.

Bring content delivery and AI traffic to the edge

GSLB

Smart routing for content and model services

IXCDN uses real-time latency, connection quality, carrier, ASN, line-library signals and edge load to route users to nearby, reliable edge endpoints.

Smart routing for content and model services

Security

Protect origins and model services before traffic arrives

WAF, DDoS protection, certificates, access control, token validation and security logs work together at the edge, helping block threats while reducing origin and model-service exposure.
