About Zenlayer Inc.

Zenlayer is a distributed cloud and digital infrastructure provider founded in 2014 with dual headquarters in Los Angeles and Shanghai. Its platform lets companies deploy compute and networking capacity close to their users in emerging markets: its official website states hundreds of edge nodes across more than fifty countries, a private backbone with hundreds of terabits per second of capacity and thousands of direct interconnections with clouds and carriers.

The offering combines on-demand compute (dedicated bare metal servers, elastic machines and edge GPU for distributed AI inference), cloud networking that links data centres and public clouds with private connections, IP transit, content delivery and a global application accelerator, all managed from a single console with automation and APIs. In China, the company has progressively doubled its network of partner data centres across the country's main regions, with a strong presence in Shanghai, Beijing and other provincial capitals.

Its customers are internet, gaming, media and financial service companies that need real-time experiences outside their home market, especially in Asia. Partners such as AMD and Equinix present it as the hyperconnected cloud aimed at distributed inference, and its proposition fits the end-to-end digital infrastructure category: it does not sell a single data centre, but the interconnection and compute layer that ties them together.
