At Bytemark we believe that Linux and the Free Software ecosystem play a vital part in underpinning an open, co-operative and global internet. We are proud to give back and sponsor Manjaro to publishing free software using our network. Bytemark’s data centers use fresh-air cooling, not common in the UK. Each of its servers is built using efficient power supplies as certified by the 80plus scheme, which requires power supplies to be at least 80% efficient at up to 100% rated load. Over the years, we’ve designed our own national network, built our own cloud hosting platform and now we’ve set our sights on developing a managed Kubernetes service. Our customer base has grown with us, spanning hobbyists to multi-million-pound businesses.

CDN77’s network is a powerful mixture of strategically located PoPs and cache servers deployed directly inside the networks of every major and hard-to-reach ISP, all interconnected with a global private backbone built upon 100G and 400G infrastructure. The network topology consists of upstreams to 15 TIER 1 transit providers, more than 300 PNIs, and direct local access to 3000+ ISPs. The massive network scale, together with cutting-edge video engineering and stellar client service, make CDN77 a CDN of choice for many highly trafficked global websites and applications, such as Udemy, ESL Gaming, European Space Agency and many others. We are happy to support Manjaro by offering most of their download offerings and packages through our global network.

GitLab is an open source end-to-end software development platform with built-in version control, issue tracking, code review, CI/CD, and more. GitLab supports open source projects and it is at the core of the project by providing us with a way to automatize our workflow using their Continuous integration system for manjaro builds.
