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.
Mirror Image was a CDN provider founded in 1997, offering dynamic content acceleration, real-time analytics, and instant cache purging for global content delivery. It served businesses needing fast, reliable content distribution but ceased operations in 2024, making it 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.
Mirror Image’s closure in 2024 left limited public information about its end-of-life process or potential asset transfers. No official EOL notice or archived documentation is widely available. Users are advised to check for any cached resources or contact former Mirror Image support channels for legacy data.
