Overview
SkyparkCDN, founded in 2013, was a Russian content delivery network (CDN) operator focused on accelerating web resources and providing DDoS protection. It served thousands of websites, particularly in the mid-market, with a strong presence in Russia and the CIS region. The company was acquired by G-Core in 2017 and rebranded as G-Core Rus, ceasing operations as a standalone entity. Its services are no longer offered under the SkyparkCDN name.
TurboBytes was a MultiCDN platform founded in 2012 that optimized content delivery by dynamically routing traffic across multiple CDNs based on real-time performance metrics. It served publishers, e-commerce, and content providers seeking improved speed and reliability globally. The platform measured CDN performance from within users’ browsers and automatically selected the best-performing CDN for each region. TurboBytes is no longer operational, having been marked as a deadpooled company. No official announcement confirms the exact date of closure, but the company is considered defunct as of 2025.

History & Notes
SkyparkCDN was notable for its rapid growth in Russia, offering features like video streaming (live and VOD), DDoS protection, and instant cache purge. It pioneered HTTP/2 support in Russia in 2015 and transitioned servers to SSDs in 2016 for improved performance. After the 2017 acquisition by G-Core, its infrastructure and services were absorbed, with no reported revivals of the SkyparkCDN brand. Some sources, like Crunchbase, confirm its closure as a standalone entity.
TurboBytes was noted for its innovative approach to MultiCDN, leveraging real-time performance data to optimize content delivery. Its closure is not well-documented, with no public statements from the company or successors. Industry sources like Crunchbase and Tracxn confirm its defunct status, but conflicting reports or partial revivals are absent. The lack of an official website or archived documentation limits further insights into its operational history.
