Zenlayer is a distributed edge cloud provider that runs compute, networking and data center capacity across hundreds of locations worldwide. Its purpose is to put interactive applications physically close to their users so they run with low latency everywhere, which matters for uses like gaming, video streaming and conferencing where a fraction of a second changes the experience. It combines the pieces needed to do that: bare-metal cloud and virtual machines for compute, edge data center capacity, cloud networking and interconnection, dedicated internet access and IP transit for connectivity, and a global accelerator to stabilize performance. Its network spans a large number of edge points of presence across six continents, with particular reach into emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, South America, the Middle East and Africa where other providers are thin. For a business delivering interactive applications to a global audience, Zenlayer provides the edge infrastructure to run them close to users.
Best for
- Companies delivering latency-sensitive applications, such as gaming, streaming or conferencing, to global users.
- Businesses expanding into emerging markets where mainstream cloud regions have limited reach.
- Teams that need to provision compute close to users in many locations quickly.
- Organizations that want compute, networking and data center capacity from one global edge provider.
A business serving users in a single region well covered by a mainstream cloud has less need for a global edge platform.
What they offer
Cloud and IaaS. Bare-metal cloud and virtual machines provisioned across a large global footprint, so a company can deploy compute close to its users on demand rather than backhauling to a few central regions.
Colocation. Edge data center capacity across many points of presence on six continents, giving a business a physical presence near its users in markets that are otherwise hard to reach.
Business Connectivity. Cloud networking and interconnection to public and private clouds, dedicated internet access and IP transit, and a global accelerator that stabilizes performance for interactive applications over its private full-mesh backbone.

How buying works
The store is the easy part. Staying on the account is the job.
Anyone can show you logos. The reason to buy here is what happens on install night, and on the ticket you open nine months later.

We handle the order and install
Paperwork, site survey, install dates, cutover night. You get one thread, not five vendors.
