Fastly Put the Internet on Fast-Forward. Then One Customer Found the Brake.

Rakuten Symphony
Rakuten built a mobile network in Japan, then turned the operating lessons into software for everyone else. The wager is that telecom's next upgrade looks less like a hardware swap and more like a cloud migration.
Qwilt
Qwilt builds the Open Edge Cloud - a federated CDN embedded inside service provider networks (Verizon, BT, Vodafone, Comcast, Telecom Italia and dozens more) that pushes video, software, and real-time applications closer to the end user than any traditional cloud. Founded in 2010 by ex-Cisco and ex-Juniper engineers, it operates 2,196 edge nodes across 38 countries on 6 continents with 150+ Tbps of edge capacity, and is the leading commercial champion of the Open Caching standard inside the Streaming Video Technology Alliance.
