G-Core Labs Opens New Point of Global Content Delivery Network and Hosting in Tel-Aviv

Luxembourg(24 Jul 2019)

G-Core Labs, an international provider of cloud and edge solutions for content delivery, hosting and security, is expanding its infrastructure in the Middle East by opening a new point of presence of content delivery network and hosting in the economic capital of Israel - the city of Tel-Aviv. The average response time of company's network here is 21 msec (according to the independent analytical system Citrix), which is one of the best results in the region.

"Today, the Middle East is one of the world's fastest growing markets from the point of view of digital content consumption. Analysts predict the growth of the local segment of online video by 22% over the next 5 years, due to the large number of young people who are refusing the cable and ordering digital subscriptions, the active development of new streaming platforms and mobile telecommunications. In this regard, the opening of a new point of presence of our global infrastructure in one of the most important economic centers of the region looks like a logical step and opens up good opportunities for any companies which develop their business online and have customers or an audience here", - said Andre Reitenbach, managing director of G-Core Labs.

G-Core Labs global content delivery network is located on 5 continents and is ready for any peak loads, its total bandwidth exceeds 7 Tbit/sec. G-Core Labs has more than 50 points of presence, about 4 000 peering partners, agreements with major operators and an ISP license.

As part of the hosting service in Tel-Aviv, dedicated and virtual servers are available for ordering. These servers are located in Tier III certified data center which guarantees 99,982% infrastructure fault tolerance.
