Overview
Cedexis was a MultiCDN platform specializing in real-time traffic steering and performance monitoring, optimizing web and cloud application delivery across multiple CDNs and data centers. Founded in 2009 by Julien Coulon and Marty Kagan, it was acquired by Citrix in 2018 and integrated into its Intelligent Traffic Management (ITM) product. The platform was used by enterprises, including media outlets like L’Equipe, Le Figaro, and Le Monde, to enhance global web performance. Cedexis is now defunct, with its ITM product reaching end-of-life (EOL) in October 2025.
EdgeMesh was a CDN provider focused on e-commerce, offering real-user metrics (RUM) and in-browser caching to optimize website performance. It provided tools for performance telemetry and smart routing, primarily serving businesses needing fast content delivery. The service is now defunct, with no active operations or official website available as of August 2025.

History & Notes
Cedexis was known for its Radar, Fusion, Sonar, and OpenMix tools, which provided real-time visibility and programmable traffic management across CDNs and clouds. Its acquisition by Citrix aimed to bolster hybrid and multi-cloud performance but faced challenges, including a notable DDoS attack in May 2017 impacting French media clients. The decision to sunset ITM reflects Citrix’s strategic shift, with no reported plans for a direct successor. NS1 Connect has emerged as a key alternative, leveraging similar DNS-based steering technology.
EdgeMesh offered a developer-centric CDN with a focus on real-user metrics and API-driven configuration. Its GitHub repositories for client and server components remain accessible, but no recent activity suggests ongoing development. The lack of an official EOL announcement creates uncertainty, but the absence of an active website or support channels indicates the service is no longer operational.
