Historical provider.
Current availability of the listed service is not confirmed. Acquired by Citrix Systems in 2018-02-06.

Documentation

Overview

Cedexis helped customers select between CDNs, clouds and data centers using performance measurements and routing rules. Radar supplied real-user measurements; Openmix made traffic-routing decisions. Content delivery still depended on the selected infrastructure providers.

Citrix acquired Cedexis in February 2018. The later ITM/NEM notice sets the end of support and maintenance to October 31, 2025. Existing deployments need to confirm their arrangement with Citrix or NetScaler before relying on this historical product.

Network

Cedexis measured and routed across customer-selected infrastructure. A measured CDN, cloud region or data center is not a Cedexis content-cache location.

For current cache coverage, check the delivery providers connected to your steering setup. A map of third-party platforms would misrepresent the service.

Past features

The historical product combined:

  • Radar: browser and mobile performance measurements.
  • Openmix: DNS or HTTP-based provider selection.
  • Fusion and Sonar: external telemetry and availability checks.
  • NEM: measurement and routing-log exports.

Keep the connected CDNs and any packaging or security services in the deployment plan. Collect viewer-request logs from the connected CDNs alongside steering telemetry.

Service status

Citrix ’s ITM/NEM notice sets end of life to October 31, 2025. Existing deployments should verify their support and service arrangement with Citrix or NetScaler.

For a replacement, inventory DNS decision rules, health checks, performance telemetry and API automation before choosing a traffic-steering product. Test routing rules, telemetry inputs and API automation against the replacement before switching.

Budget separately for traffic steering, monitoring and the selected CDN/cloud delivery service. Historical Cedexis rates are not a current purchase offer.

History timeline

  • February 6, 2018 — Citrix acquired all issued and outstanding Cedexis securities.
  • November 1, 2019 — Citrix stopped selling ITM and NEM.
  • October 4, 2024 — Citrix announced the lifecycle change.
  • October 31, 2025 — Published end of life for ITM and NEM support and maintenance.

Budgeting for a replacement

For replacement budgeting, request current steering and monitoring prices separately from CDN delivery. ITM/NEM sales and support milestones are recorded separately.

When budgeting a replacement, separate steering and monitoring charges from the CDN or cloud delivery bill. A traffic-only calculation cannot represent both contracts without their actual terms.

Historical integrations

Openmix used DNS delegation or an HTTP decision API. Radar used a webpage tag or mobile SDK; Fusion accepted external telemetry. Archived NEM documentation covers file delivery through S3 or Google Cloud Storage.

For migration, preserve the routing rules, fallback behavior, provider contracts and monitoring inputs. Current authentication and support arrangements must be confirmed with the operator.

What to know

Historically suited to teams coordinating multiple delivery providers or comparing infrastructure performance. The steering layer could select a provider according to availability, performance and business rules.

Existing users should evaluate a replacement against their actual routing and measurement requirements.

Planning a replacement

Cedexis was a steering and monitoring platform, not the CDN serving the bytes. When replacing it, budget for the steering tool and the connected CDNs, and recreate the routing rules and monitoring inputs your application uses.

History

Cedexis developed monitoring and traffic-steering tools for multi-CDN and multi-cloud delivery. Citrix later acquired the company.

Citrix stopped selling ITM/NEM on November 1, 2019. Its October 4, 2024 lifecycle notice set the end of support and maintenance to October 31, 2025. Existing deployments need a supported replacement for the steering and monitoring workflow.
