 “In 2020 we are planning a significant growth of our infrastructure on the Latin American continent, here we want to open about 5 new points of presence. We start with Chile, which is one of top 5 countries in the southern part of the New world in terms of internet penetration. More than 15 mln people here regularly use the global network, that is 82,3% of country’s population. The media and entertainment markets are actively developing in Chile, people buy in online stores and study in a remote format – and each of these cases needs a fast content delivery network, allowing companies to transfer powerful video streams with audience’s favorite movies, games or meetings & lectures broadcasts in millisecond, as well as to accelerate online stores work. This is especially important in the current period of self-isolation”, – said Dmitry Samoshkin, G-Core Labs vice president of products.
