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.
Hibernia Networks, formerly Hibernia Atlantic, was a US-based provider of global telecommunications and CDN services, operating subsea and terrestrial fiber networks. It served financial markets, media, and telecom providers with low-latency connectivity, including the Hibernia Express transatlantic cable. Acquired by GTT Communications in January 2017, its CDN services, including HiberniaCDN, are no longer independently offered, and the brand is defunct.

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.
Hibernia Networks operated a global network across North America, Europe, and Asia, with key cable landing stations in Canada, the US, Ireland, and the UK. Its Hibernia Express cable was notable for sub-59ms latency between New York and London, targeting financial and media sectors. After the 2017 acquisition by GTT Communications, Hibernia’s infrastructure was absorbed, and no public documentation indicates a revival of its CDN services. A 2019 subsea cable cut led to a legal dispute with a customer, highlighting operational challenges pre-acquisition.
