Rocket.net Announces AI-Powered Intelligent Edge for WordPress

Before launching Rocket.net in June 2020, my original business plan incorporated multiple CDN service providers to always protect our customers from any service outages with failover contingencies and thereby ensure maximum website performance. Today, we’re realizing that vision with the launch of Rocket.net Intelligent Edge.

Our Intelligent Edge is the world’s first and only global edge platform powered by AI to enable real-time traffic management for maximum uptime and performance.

• Automated Failover: By leveraging multiple edge networks, Rocket.net can automatically failover to another CDN within seconds to resume delivery in the event of an outage.
• Automated Security: While monitoring our network 24/7/365, our AI will proactively block attackers platform wide.
• Delivery QA: Rocket.net’s AI constantly monitors all of our edge vendors globally to ensure maximum performance for our platform.
• Enhanced Visitor Reach: With over 665 points of presence on various providers, Rocket.net can get content within milliseconds of everyone in the world. 
• Enterprise SSL: Powered by Sectigo, every site receives a premium SSL certificate fully managed by Rocket.net ensuring maximum device/browser compatibility.
• Enterprise DNS: Every request is routed through our Enterprise DNS platform, ensuring maximum TTFB performance.

Note: Intelligent Edge will only be rolled out to Rocket’s Enterprise Hosting customers and high volume websites that are interested in testing it out for our BETA phase.

Rocket.net Announces New AI Powered Intelligent Edge Network.

Always-on vendor agnostic edge platform enabling real-time traffic management for maximum performance and uptime.

West Palm Beach, FL. May 30, 2023

Today Rocket.net, one of the World’s most innovative Managed WordPress Hosting Platforms, announced the release of the Rocket.net Intelligent Edge, a revolutionary smart edge network made up of the world’s most performant edge providers.

“Since launching Rocket.net three years ago, we have led the way with our edge-first approach on our platform.” said Ben Gabler, CEO at Rocket.net. “Up until today, we were working with a single vendor for our edge delivery. This represented a single point of failure for our entire platform. With our new AI powered Intelligent Edge, our delivery network is not only made up of several vendors, but we’re able to intelligently route traffic between multiple CDN’s in real time. Ultimately, this provides our customers with redundant performance based delivery in over 665 PoP’s around the world.”

In 2020, Rocket.net launched their edge-first platform solving real-world problems for WordPress website performance and security unlike any other solution in the market. Over the years, Rocket.net was able to do this by simply leveraging CDN and WAF at the edge without any proprietary vendor technology, resulting in a fast and secure digital experience for websites of all sizes.

With AI being more powerful than ever, Rocket.net is taking things a step further by launching their AI powered Intelligent Edge. The Rocket.net Intelligent Edge not only integrates with the most performant and reliable CDN’s in the world, but it’s able to balance and deliver content intelligently and programmatically across all networks.

Leveraging their proprietary integrations, Rocket.net is able to constantly monitor their edge providers and train their AI to make the smartest possible decisions about how they route traffic to website visitors, ensuring website visitors are not only receiving the fastest possible experience, but also reducing global edge delivery outages from hours to seconds with a future goal to eliminate them entirely.

Rocket.net Intelligent Edge enables the following capabilities, providing endless opportunities for the platform’s growth:

• Automated Failover: By leveraging multiple edge networks, Rocket.net can automatically failover to another CDN within seconds to resume delivery in the event of an outage.
• Automated Security: While monitoring our network 24/7/365, our AI will proactively block attackers platform wide.
• Delivery QA: Rocket.net’s AI constantly monitors all of our edge vendors globally to ensure maximum performance for our platform.
• Enhanced Visitor Reach: With over 665 points of presence on various providers, Rocket.net can get content within milliseconds of everyone in the world. 
• Enterprise SSL: Powered by Sectigo, every site receives a premium SSL certificate fully managed by Rocket.net ensuring maximum device/browser compatibility.
• Enterprise DNS: Every request is routed through our Enterprise DNS platform, ensuring maximum TTFB performance.

“At Rocket.net, we’re always looking for ways to improve our business with the same goal in mind every time: customer success.” said Gabler. “We live in a day and age where the impact of downtime to business operations is simply not acceptable. Since its inception, Rocket.net has been hyperfocused on creating innovative solutions to solve business challenges within the WordPress community. Our Intelligent Edge is the next step in eliminating potential business interruption scenarios for our customers, and is just one of many new industry leading features coming this year.“
