With full-country coverage, the deployment will include activating Open Caching services at multiple distributed PROEN sites across Thailand.
PROEN chief commercial officer Naris Ratyiam said, “Our partnership with Qwilt and Cisco is an exciting step in our mission to strengthen our network and deliver superior experiences to our customers. By building Qwilt’s Open Edge solution into our infrastructure, we’re creating an open and unified content delivery solution that will bring numerous benefits to content publishers when they utilize the service, including current PROEN partners such as MCOT, Channel 3, and Buga Boo. This deployment enables us to tackle the rapidly growing demands for live streaming, video-on-demand, and application services head-on while ensuring these experiences are delivered consistently in the highest quality.”
Cisco vice president Theodore Tzevelekis said, “By deploying our joint Open Edge solution with Qwilt, PROEN gains access to a platform that meets the needs for high-quality streaming experiences while opening the door to exciting future edge computing use cases. We’re delighted to have PROEN on board and excited to help deliver exceptional digital experiences for its customers in Thailand.”
“We’re delighted to welcome PROEN as the latest service provider to join our Open Edge movement. Each new deployment expands our global, all-edge network and gives us the opportunity to play a significant role in helping enhance the seamless delivery of digital services to many millions of consumers,” said Qwilt CEO Alon Maor. “Embedded at the edge of PROEN’s network, closest to users, our Open Edge CDN goes beyond offering traditional CDN functionality – it ensures users across Thailand experience the highest quality and fastest delivery, whether they’re consuming streaming video, playing online games, or downloading massive files. This strategic deployment reflects PROEN’s commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions to its valued customers and reinforces its position as one of Thailand’s leading service providers.”
