Bright Data has significantly enhanced its network architecture, achieving a 25% increase in speed, making its Datacenter IPs the fastest on the market. A proxy, which is essentially an IP address, plays a crucial role in network speed, influenced by factors like journey length, architecture, bandwidth, and CPU usage. To optimize performance, Bright Data has minimized the journey length by ensuring requests remain within the same geolocation, reduced unnecessary hops, and prevented server overloads by distributing requests across multiple load-bearing servers. Additionally, they have ensured ample bandwidth and CPU resources to avoid bottlenecks. These improvements cater to the needs of customers who require fast proxies for various use cases, reaffirming Bright Data's commitment to providing the fastest proxies available. Aviv Besinsky, a lead product manager at Bright Data, has been instrumental in advancing data collection technology and shares his expertise in the field.
