SUCCESS CASE

AECC

The Spanish Association Against Cancer is the leading organisation in Spain in the fight against the disease, focusing its efforts on supporting patients and their families, raising awareness, and driving research. As it is not a technology-based enterprise, its priority is to rely on partners who provide technical robustness without losing the personal touch. The management of sensitive data and fundraising are critical for this charity, which also requires an infrastructure capable of supporting its extensive social activity with full guarantees.

The AECC has been using our platform since 2017.

Why Transparent Edge

  • Expert technical support
  • Campaign scalability
  • Security and compliance
“It is crucial for us to have providers that are robust yet approachable. Transparent Edge fits this profile perfectly: a highly accessible team with excellent product knowledge and a great willingness to adapt to our needs, which makes our day-to-day work significantly easier”.
Alfonso Delgado, Head of Infrastructure and CISO at the AECC.

For an organisation that depends on the generosity of society, the stability of its digital platforms during national campaigns is vital. Occasional, massive traffic spikes tested its response capacity, where the slightest latency or downtime could result in a loss of trust from its members and donors.

“Transparent Edge provides us with highly effective caching, fine-grained traffic control, and responsive support that allows rules to be adjusted almost in real time.

The result is clear: higher availability, better performance, and the peace of mind of knowing that the system responds even during the most demanding times”.

Alfonso Delgado, Head of Infrastructure and CISO at the AECC.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY AND RESOURCE OPTIMISATION

With the implementation of the Transparent Edge CDN, the AECC not only resolved its availability issues but also transformed the efficiency of its internal architecture. By offloading the majority of the load to the edge, the Association has managed to optimise its costs and simplify its infrastructure, allowing the technical team to focus on higher value-added tasks.

“One of the key advantages we gained with the CDN was the reduction of front-ends in our infrastructure, both in number and capacity, as over 70% of the traffic is absorbed directly by the CDN. This has resulted in a significant improvement in efficiency, costs, and the stability of the environment”.

ADVANCED SECURITY AND CENTRALISED MANAGEMENT

The evolution of the partnership led the Association to also integrate the Transparent Edge WAF. The ability to manage content delivery, security, and monitoring from a single dashboard has enabled its team to increase operational agility, eliminating the friction of working with multiple providers and rigid configurations.

“Having everything related to the CDN, the WAF, and monitoring on a single platform greatly simplifies management. Previously, we had to jump between different providers and dashboards; now everything is centralised, allowing us to be more agile and reduce errors. For a small team, this operational efficiency is key, and Transparent Edge makes it really simple”.

CONTROL AND INTELLIGENCE

A further step in this technical evolution has been the adoption of the TE-API CLI. This command-line tool has established itself as a highly useful resource for the Association to manage the Transparent Edge API seamlessly.

“The API is enabling us to integrate traffic and security metrics queries into our investigation tools, providing us with more context when analysing incidents”.

Europa

TECHNICAL POWER WITH EUROPEAN DNA

Beyond the features, the Spanish Association Against Cancer highlights the value of working with a European provider that understands its regulatory framework and offers ongoing personal support. The flexibility to adapt specific security rules and the speed and accessibility of the technical support are the pillars that consolidate this long-term partnership.

“In an environment like ours, we value working with a European provider that understands our compliance needs and offers approachable support”.
