ChinaCache International Holdings was one of China's earliest and largest content delivery network (CDN) operators, founded in 1998 and formerly listed on NASDAQ. Its international CDN, edge computing, and cloud security business now operates under the EdgeNext brand at edgenext.com, delivering content acceleration, DDoS/WAF security, and edge compute across a network of 1500+ global points of presence and 90+ Tbps of capacity, with a strong footprint in China and other emerging markets. The company runs a customer console at home.console.edgenext.com with OpenID Connect (Keycloak) single sign-on and a REST API host at api.edgenext.com, documented in its online Document Center, for managing CDN domains, cache purge/prefetch, security policies, and edge configuration. The original chinacache.com domain now resolves to the EdgeNext web properties.
