G-Core Labs, a Luxembourg-based international provider of cloud and edge solutions, today announced that it has begun a new phase of its content delivery infrastructure development in South America with the opening of a point of presence in Chile.
G-Core Labs has expanded its presence in South America by opening a new point of presence of its content delivery network (CDN) in Santiago, Chile's capital. According to the firm, the location shows an average response time of 24 ms (according to Citrix, the independent analytical system), successfully competing with local and American CDN service providers.
Dmitry Samoshkin, G-Core Labs Vice President of Products, commented: “In 2020, we are planning a significant growth of our infrastructure on the Latin American continent. Here we want to open about five new points of presence. We start with Chile, which is one of the top five countries in the southern part of the New World in terms of internet penetration. More than 15 million people here regularly use the global network, that is 82.3% of the country’s population".
Mr Samoshkin continued: "The media and entertainment markets are actively developing in Chile, people buy in online stores and study in a remote format - and each of these cases needs a fast content delivery network, allowing companies to transfer powerful video streams with audience’s favorite movies, games or meetings and lectures broadcasts in millisecond, as well as to accelerate online stores work. This is especially important in the current period of self-isolation”.
The point of presence is located in a certified Tier III class data centre. G-Core Labs CDN supports the necessary protocols, including HTTP/2 (by default), SSL and IPv6 and also provides flexible system configuration options.
