Global managed WordPress hosting platform, Rocket.net, has unveiled its Rocket.net Intelligent Edge network. This “cutting-edge” smart edge network would comprise the most effective edge providers worldwide, offering clients redundant and performance-based delivery across more than 665 Points-of-Presence (PoPs) globally.
CEO of Rocket.net, Ben Gabler, explained the significance of the Intelligent Edge launch, stating, “Since launching Rocket.net three years ago, we have led the way with our edge-first approach on our platform. Until now, we relied on a single vendor for our edge delivery, which posed a potential single point of failure. With our new AI-powered Intelligent Edge, we have expanded our distribution network to include multiple suppliers and can now dynamically route traffic in real time. This ultimately provides our clients with redundant performance-based delivery and a superior online experience.”
Rocket.net introduced its edge-first platform in 2020, offering unparalleled real-world performance and security solutions for WordPress websites. By leveraging CDN (Content Delivery Network) and WAF (Web Application Firewall) technologies at the edge, Rocket.net has been able to deliver fast and secure online experiences for websites of all sizes without relying on proprietary vendor technology.
With the release of its AI-powered Intelligent Edge, Rocket.net would take its platform to new heights in the era of powerful AI capabilities. The Intelligent Edge can dynamically balance and distribute content across multiple networks, seamlessly integrating with the fastest and most reliable CDNs worldwide.
By utilizing proprietary integrations, Rocket.net continuously monitors its edge providers and trains its AI to make optimal decisions on routing traffic to website visitors. This would not only ensure the fastest possible user experience but also reduce global edge delivery outages from hours to seconds, with the ultimate goal of eliminating them entirely.
SSL Certificates, DNS Infrastructure
“With our new AI-powered Intelligent Edge, we have expanded our distribution network to include multiple suppliers and can now dynamically route traffic in real time,” said Ben Gabler, CEO of Rocket.net.
The Rocket.net Intelligent Edge would offer several key functions that open up possibilities for platform expansion. These include automated failover, which allows for swift switching to a different CDN in the event of an outage, and automated security, with AI proactively preventing intrusions across the network. The Intelligent Edge would also enable delivery quality assurance by analyzing all edge suppliers globally, increase visitor reach with over 665 PoPs across multiple providers, and provide enterprise-level SSL certificates and DNS infrastructure for optimal performance and security.
Ben Gabler emphasized Rocket.net’s commitment to customer success, saying, “At Rocket.net, we're always looking for ways to improve our business with the same goal in mind every single time: customer success. Downtime can have a detrimental impact on businesses in the modern world, and from the start, Rocket.net has prioritized developing innovative solutions to address the challenges faced by the WordPress community. The Intelligent Edge is one of the market-leading features we are introducing this year, aiming to ensure uninterrupted business operations for our clients.”
