Varnish Software Makes World-Leading CDN Technology Accessible to More Through Strategic Partnership with Elastx
STOCKHOLM – April 14, 2026 – Varnish Software, the global leader in high-performance content delivery solutions, today announces a new phase in its growth journey. Through a strategic partnership with the Swedish cloud provider Elastx, an integrated end-to-end solution is being launched, making Varnish's powerful CDN technology available to a significantly broader customer group with a focus on digital sovereignty.
Varnish Software has long been the first choice for global giants with extreme requirements for performance and scalability. Through the partnership with Elastx, access to this technology is now being democratized. Together, the companies are launching a comprehensive solution where cloud infrastructure and Content Delivery Network (CDN) are combined into a unified service that fully complies with Swedish and European jurisdiction.
“We are known for delivering extreme performance globally. Together with Elastx, we are taking it a step further by combining world-leading speed with clear legal grounding. It is an important step towards a more secure and sovereign European digital infrastructure,” says Peter Rådeström, Director Partnerships & Distribution at Varnish Software.
Expanded Reach and Increased Control
The launch of the “Varnish CDN” service directly within the Elastx Swedish cloud platform means that organizations and companies can now easily access a world-leading CDN service. This is particularly relevant for the public sector, fintech, and medtech, where regulatory requirements such as the recently implemented Cybersecurity Act and the US CLOUD Act make the choice of infrastructure partner mission-critical.
Through this partnership, Varnish Software can now offer its services to customers who require the entire supply chain—from application to distribution—to be handled locally without dependency on non-European providers.
"We are seeing a clear shift where organizations no longer accept compromises between performance, security, and legal control. With this collaboration, we offer a complete solution where everything is interconnected, and where customers know exactly where their data is located and who has control over it,” says Joakim Öhman, CEO of Elastx.
