Overview
Synedge provided a Multi-CDN platform focused on transparent, intelligent content delivery for video, gaming, and large file downloads. Founded in 2015 in Luxembourg, it offered solutions like Synedge Navigator for load balancing and CDN switching, and Synedge Private CDN for high-demand content. The company was acquired by Ocom in April 2018 and is no longer operational as an independent entity. Its services targeted content owners needing optimized delivery across multiple CDNs.
Warpcache was a Netherlands-based MultiCDN provider founded in 2015 by Wouter Spee and Thijs de Zoete. It specialized in combining multiple CDN platforms into a single service, using Cedexis data for real-time routing and optimization. Warpcache offered granular steering down to the ASN (Autonomous System Number) level, giving customers more precise control than country-level MultiCDN services of the time.
The company was acquired by System73 in 2019. Following the acquisition, Warpcache’s independent MultiCDN platform was discontinued, and its domain later redirected to SimpleCDN. Today, SimpleCDN operates as a single CDN service rather than a MultiCDN integrator.

History & Notes
Synedge raised $759K in funding, including a $50K corporate round, and was backed by investors like Post Capital Partners and Technoport. Its platform emphasized real-time performance metrics for CDN switching, serving clients in media, gaming, and OTT sectors. After the 2018 acquisition by Ocom, no further public activity or service updates have been reported, suggesting full integration or discontinuation.
Warpcache was notable for being one of the first turnkey MultiCDN platforms alongside TurboBytes. Its focus on ASN-level performance routing set it apart from competitors who worked at broader country-level granularity. Although the brand and platform no longer exist, Warpcache helped shape the early MultiCDN ecosystem.
