Overview

Ngenix is a Russian provider of CDN and cloud infrastructure services, focusing on web resource acceleration, DDoS protection, and video content delivery. Founded in 2007, it serves businesses primarily in Russia and CIS countries, offering solutions for e-commerce, media, and gaming industries. Its platform emphasizes high availability and security for web and streaming services. Customers include regional enterprises seeking localized CDN solutions with robust video streaming capabilities. Ngenix operates a public status page for real-time service monitoring.

Network & Architecture

Ngenix operates points of presence (PoPs) across Russia, including Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Krasnoyarsk, and Vladivostok, as well as select locations in Europe (Germany, Belarus, Armenia) and Asia (Kazakhstan). Its network is optimized for the Russian market, with strong regional coverage in the Central, Siberian, and Far East Federal Districts. The architecture supports content caching, load balancing, and DDoS mitigation. Limited global reach may restrict performance for users outside Russia and CIS regions.

Features

Ngenix offers a Managed CDN with features like cache purge (instant-purge), image optimization (Image Optimization), and video streaming (video-vod, video-live) with support for HLS/DASH packaging (hls-dash-packaging) and RTMP ingest (rtmp-ingest). Security includes a web application firewall (waf) and DDoS protection (ddos). Real-time logs (realtime-logs) and an API-first approach (api-first) enable monitoring and integration. Notable products include NGENIX Multidesk for customer management and Cloud Application Firewall for security.
