CacheFly, a company that developed TCP-anycast based Content Delivery Network (CDN), has partnered with Equinix, a large IBX data center and colocation provider, to expand its Australian network presence to Melbourne. With edge caches now in three Australian locations—in addition to Sydney (Equinix), and Perth (WAIX), CacheFly significantly improves its Australian visibility and delivery, positioning itself as a premier CDN for Australia.
CacheFly said that its decision to deploy in Equinix’s $60 million data center facility dubbed “ME1,” in Melbourne—Australia’s second largest market—comes in response to the high projected growth of Internet traffic in Australia. Melbourne marks CacheFly's 41st POP, globally, following its recent launch of POPs in Jakarta, Indonesia and La Paz, Bolivia.

We're committed to providing the fastest CDN for content providers with Aussie-focused traffic. Adding Melbourne to our existing presence in Australia ensures that end users will receive incomparably faster delivery than with any other CDN.
Jeremy Deutsch, Managing Director, Equinix Australia
CacheFly’s deployment in ME1 is further proof that Equinix’s interconnection solutions provide a competitive edge for business. CacheFly is a clear leader amongst Content Delivery Networks, whilst Equinix is dedicated to bringing global leaders the power of interconnection. With ME1, CacheFly now has the ability to connect in many ways to many customers, partners and geographies in order to accelerate its business performance and create new opportunities.
