Expereo, a global managed networks operator based in The Netherlands, has announced the acquisition of Border 6, creator of market-leading technology in Internet performance-based routing.
Expereo provides managed SD-WAN, Internet Connectivity services and Cloud Acceleration solutions, and the company claims to connect 10,000+ enterprise and government sites in 180+ countries.
Border 6’s technology and IP will be used to further power Expereo’s global Cloud Acceleration platform, XCA.
XCA delivers optimal user productivity for Cloud Applications by optimizing Internet routing through Expereo’s global network of Cloud Acceleration Hubs. XCA operates from 16 existing Expereo Cloud Acceleration Hubs with four more Hubs planned to open during 2017.
The Border 6 acquisition also allows Expereo to take XCA into data centers and customer sites as XCA Edge, which complements XCA by optimizing outbound Internet traffic from these sites.

Irwin Fouwels, CEO, Expereo
It was a logical step to purchase the company at a stage where we are starting to see broad adoption of Cloud Acceleration technology in the market, complementing our global managed internet services as the leading platform for enterprise connectivity solutions.
