DUBLIN, Ireland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hibernia Networks, a leading provider of global telecommunications services, announces that it has established a Point of Presence (PoP) in Milan, Italy, expanding its Content Delivery Network (CDN) platform in Europe. This PoP is the company’s first in Italy and will facilitate enhanced end-user experience for accessing video on-demand content, file downloads and live streaming services.

Hibernia Networks’ new Milan presence increases its reach to 27 major cities globally including 13 in Europe, and improves its ability to scale to meet growing customer demand. Hibernia Networks’ CDN is comprised of a custom and purpose built software solution, leveraging the company’s owned and operated fiber optic infrastructure and global IP backbone, delivering best-in-class performance for live streaming, video-on-demand, caching and other CDN applications.

“Hibernia Networks is absolutely committed to the continued expansion and development of our Content Services offering. Establishing a local presence in Italy is an important step to more effectively serving this growing market for CDN applications,” states Martin Ford, Vice President Sales at Hibernia Networks. “Online gaming and software distributors, video-on demand and live streaming companies, and enterprises delivering services in Italy will benefit from the flexibility and performance capability of Hibernia Networks’ CDN platform.”

Hibernia Networks CDN Services offer a turn-key, scalable solution, while retaining the ease-of-use and direct control that today’s market demands. According to the 2016 Cisco VNI report, CDN traffic will carry nearly two-thirds of all internet video traffic by 2020.¹
