Voddler Ships Vnet™ as a Standalone Product, Revolutionizing Streaming Video and User Viewing Experiences Around The World
Stockholm, Sweden (PRWEB) May 06, 2015 -- Vnet™, from Stockholm-based streaming innovator Voddler, is today being made immediately available worldwide. Vnet is Voddler’s proven and patented new standalone software solution, which previously powered Voddler’s and its partners’ Video-on-Demand (VOD) platforms streaming thousands of titles to millions of viewers. Vnet is the world’s first managed peering network, which uses a hybrid distribution system of decentralized resources with centralized control to create a global and massively scalable community of video delivery edge servers. Through this “Vnet Cloud”, Vnet consistently delivers exceptional quality of service and playback performance, with offloading rates in excess of 95% to a virtually limitless scale. Vnet has received the endorsement of the five top Hollywood studios, because of Vnet’s proven ability to protect their content through the support of industry-standard digital rights management (DRM) technologies, centrally controlled content distribution, and ability to ensure an incredible viewing experience for all of their consumers. Vnet is an easily-integrated overlay to existing or new online video platforms (OVPs) as well as any over-the-top (OTT) video content providers. The future of streaming video has now arrived!
Vnet extends it's OVP and OTT clients’ ability to reach and service their users in areas and moments of congested internet traffic and poor transfer rates, by passing their traditional Content Delivery Network’s (CDN) streaming to Vnet’s peering service, greatly expanding our customer’s ability to consistently grow their presence and market share. Vnet’s peering method requires a very low threshold of peering activity before it hits near-100% peering grades, providing an exceptional and consistent Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) for our customer’s users. This means that Vnet can very rapidly deliver an optimal user experience independently across its network, without depending on its customer’s existing infrastructure. We ensure that our customers’ Customer Acquisition Costs generate a higher ROI, by reducing their viewer churn rates through our playback experience. Finally, through an inherently and massively scalable system, Voddler helps its customers reduce their operating costs by offloading traffic from their CDN infrastructure to Vnet, while significantly improving performance as the service grows. By adding peering capabilities to existing rigid server-based solutions, Vnet can massively extend our customer’s market reach and viewing experience.
“You need a fantastic infrastructure to deliver OTT” - Amrish Kacker, Analysys Mason APAC
Vnet is that infrastructure.
Vnet’s release will also include SDK support for Android integration, enabling our customers to immediately extend their mobile user content engagement. APIs for integration of Vnet performance and statistics into third party billing and analytics engines are also included, ensuring a holistic and seamless combined offering. Vnet’s core includes support for Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR), MPEG-DASH, and Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming technology (HLS), providing a comprehensive toolset for capturing and captivating viewers across the globe.
“In many countries video streaming is still a frustrating experience, when it is available at all. Video content consumers around the world are demanding regular access to premium and original content, with a consistently excellent playback experience. Vnet gives people exactly what they want: great content truly anywhere and anytime, on a global scale!” says Adam Lewis, Voddler’s CEO
Voddler’s Vnet cloud stores and streams larger video volumes at a superior quality than today’s normal streaming solutions. It also saves on average 95% of normal streaming costs, as demonstrated by Voddler’s own proof-of-concept service voddler.com, which since 2010 has served millions of video streams to over 1 million registered users. Vnet works out of the box with existing DRM encryption schemes and rights management as Vnet acts as an unobtrusive transport layer, allowing the content owners full security and control.
