The challenge#
Monocle’s global audience expects instant access to rich media content: high-resolution photography, audio streams and video. Their previous infrastructure struggled with inconsistent performance across regions, particularly in Asia and South America. Traffic spikes during breaking stories caused slowdowns, and unpredictable egress costs made budgeting difficult.
The solution#
Using Edge’s global CDN with 988 edge locations, Monocle now delivers content with sub-50ms latency to their international audience. The zero egress pricing model means predictable costs regardless of traffic spikes from breaking stories or viral content. Smart routing automatically directs users to the fastest available node.
Edge gives us the global reach our audience demands without the complexity we dreaded.
