Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Zenlayer is a software-defined network and services provider. It enables businesses to instantly deploy compute closer to end users and accelerate their networks to deliver the best digital experience possible. This means that they can help customers reach over 85% of the world’s internet population in just 25 milliseconds or less.

Zenlayer is a global company with offices in several countries and data centres on six continents. In addition to its infrastructure-as-a-service model, the company supplies a platform-as-a-service product named Zenlayer Global Accelerator, offering API acceleration for companies in the gaming, video, and audio conferencing industries, all of which are on the rise.

The strategic launch of its Global Accelerator product in 2021, alongside the considerable funding it has received, has allowed Zenlayer to rapidly grow. The company has an extensive and growing partner network, with a 2023 focus on Asia, which should enable it to extend its business reach as operations scale.
