Overview

Cedexis developed traffic-steering and performance-monitoring products for multi-CDN and multi-cloud delivery. Citrix reported that it acquired all of Cedexis’s issued and outstanding securities on 6 February 2018. The reviewed primary source does not establish the later end date or disposition of every Cedexis-branded service.

Service status

Current Cedexis ITM customers must migrate by October 2025 to avoid service disruptions. Akamai is a strong alternative for MultiCDN traffic steering, offering robust global coverage and advanced analytics. Cloudflare provides similar real-time optimization with a broader feature set, including WAF and DDoS protection. IBM’s NS1 Connect is recommended as a direct replacement, matching ITM’s capabilities with flexible DNS-based steering and RUM data integration. Customers should consult Citrix’s official EOL documentation for transition support: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/blogs/claire-odonovan/2025/04/16/cedexis-itm-eol-ns1connect-global-traffic-steering.

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.
