Edge Services
Make every request count.
Most inbound requests are noise. By the time a bot, a credential stuffer, or unwanted traffic hits your origin, it’s already costing you money.
We move the decision-making to the edge, so your servers only deal with the traffic that matters.
The internet is changing faster than your architecture.
MANAGED WAAP
The Perimeter Black Box.
Standard firewalls are too aggressive for their own good. If your security isn’t tuned to how your customers actually use your site, it will eventually block a real person just to stop a bot. That isn’t security, it’s a broken checkout.
AI GATEWAY
The Agentic Blindspot.
Within 24 months, the majority of your traffic won’t be human. If your perimeter can’t distinguish between a malicious scraper and an authorized agent fetching data for a customer, your application will be invisible to the AI-driven web.
EDGE operations
The Management Decay.
An unmanaged perimeter eventually decays. Without dedicated engineers monitoring audit logs and updating rulesets, your defenses won’t adapt as your application codebase evolves.
origin shielding
The Compute Tax.
Every bad request that hits your origin burns compute. Without origin shielding and edge caching, volumetric noise and unpredictable surges force you into expensive, permanent hardware tiers you don’t actually need.
The edge is your new control plane.
By extending security and traffic control to the edge, we create a multi-layered defense that filters out noise before it reaches your origin, allowing your core infrastructure to focus on running your business.
Performance & Reliability
Static content, media, and cached responses are delivered in milliseconds from a global network. By offloading this traffic, we eliminate latency and ensure your application remains highly available during unpredictable traffic spikes.
Managed WAAP & Origin Shielding
Protection that sits in front of your application, not inside it. Our multi-tiered architecture provides an origin shield, while Nexcess engineers actively tune WAF rulesets, manage API protection policies, and mitigate DDoS attacks .
Bot Management
Standard firewalls just block bots. We classify them. Instantly identify malicious scrapers, rate-limit SEO crawlers, and build dedicated routing rules for the agents you really want accessing your data.
Edge Compute & Inferencing
Execute custom authentication, serverless logic, and AI model inferencing directly at the network perimeter. By running specialized workloads closer to the user, you deliver millisecond response times without waking up your core compute infrastructure.
Intelligent AI Gateway
Centralize your LLM orchestration at the edge. Sanitize incoming request data to protect your API applications from exploit, while managing rate limiting, fallback routing, and cost observability. By deploying Model Context Protocol services, you securely govern how AI agents interact with your application.
volumetric survival
Absorb Peak Traffic & DDoS
By combining the global CDN with aggressive origin shielding, you can absorb unpredictable traffic surges and volumetric attacks without changing your compute tier.
VULNERABILITY SHIELDING
Protect Legacy Codebases
When refactoring an older application isn’t an option, use Managed WAAP and Next-Gen Firewalls to virtually patch vulnerabilities and stop zero-day exploits without ever touching the core application code.
traffic monetization
Curate Agentic Scraping
Use intelligent bot management to identify authorized AI scrapers, route them to dedicated infrastructure, and turn data harvesting into a measurable revenue stream.
ARCHITECTURAL MODERNIZATION
Deploy Edge Logic
Modernize a monolithic application without tearing it down. Deploy authentication, A/B testing logic, and LLM orchestration via the AI Gateway directly at the network edge for zero-latency execution.
Defend at the edge and compute at the core
An invisible perimeter engineered for scale.
You don’t always need to refactor your application or scale up your hardware to fix a bottleneck. By combining edge compute, caching, and active mitigation, you can solve core challenges before requests reach your origin.
