CacheFly launches fully managed private CDN for enterprise streaming

CacheFly has introduced Private CDN, a single-tenant delivery network for streaming and media companies that need reserved capacity, tighter control and more predictable performance than shared CDN infrastructure offers. The service is available now, with enterprise design engagements and IBC2026 meetings in Amsterdam starting Sept. 11.

Why it matters: - Enterprise streaming companies can now buy dedicated CDN capacity without building and operating their own delivery network. - CacheFly Private CDN is designed for predictable performance when traffic spikes or fails over from another CDN. - The service targets companies that have outgrown shared CDN infrastructure and need more control over delivery quality, capacity and cost.

What happened: - CacheFly announced CacheFly Private CDN, a fully managed, single-tenant content delivery network for enterprise streaming and media companies. - The launch was announced Sept. 9, 2026. - CacheFly said the service is available now for enterprise design engagements. - IBC2026 attendees can meet with CacheFly at the RAI Amsterdam from Sept. 11-14 at Stand 5.F90. - More information is available in the company's announcement.

The details: - Each deployment is designed around the customer’s production traffic, priority markets, peak demand and failover requirements. - CacheFly provides the hardware, facilities and connectivity in a fully managed deployment. - CacheFly also operates the complete delivery stack, including software, network, peering, monitoring and capacity planning. - The deployed resources are reserved exclusively for the customer. - Customers get more predictable infrastructure costs without adding engineering headcount for 24/7 CDN operations. - CacheFly begins each engagement with a capacity plan rather than a standard rate card. - The company works with customers to understand priority markets, average and peak traffic, live-event profile, expected failover load and redundancy requirements. - CacheFly then designs the deployment around those requirements, including capacity, cache depth, connectivity and point-of-presence configuration. - Because failover load is an explicit input, deployments are sized for traffic the network may need to carry, not just average-day volume. - Customers keep visibility into delivery through the CacheFly platform and work directly with CacheFly engineers on routing, caching and delivery configurations. - Private CDN can be used for primary delivery, dedicated capacity in specific regions or reserved failover capacity within a multi-CDN strategy. - Customers can also deploy it selectively while continuing to use CacheFly or other third-party shared CDN infrastructure in other markets. - CacheFly said Private CDN complements, rather than replaces, its shared network and Dedicated Shield service. - Depending on market, capacity and connectivity requirements, CacheFly can deploy a Private CDN in as little as 14 days after design and commercial terms are finalized.

Between the lines: - The launch gives CacheFly a way to compete for enterprise customers that want CDN predictability without taking on the cost and staffing burden of an in-house build. - The product also fits hybrid and multi-CDN strategies, which can make it easier for customers to reserve capacity only where they need it most. - The emphasis on failover sizing suggests CacheFly is selling resilience, not just bandwidth.

What's next: - CacheFly is taking capacity-planning consultations for enterprise customers. - The company will use IBC2026 meetings in Amsterdam to discuss traffic, capacity and deployment requirements. - Customers considering the service will need to finalize design and commercial terms before deployment can begin.

The bottom line: - CacheFly is offering enterprise streamers a managed way to reserve CDN capacity where performance and failover matter most, without forcing them to run the network themselves.
