With instant end-to-end visibility from content origination to viewing device, streaming companies can immediately address infrastructure issues and have real-time insight into viewer experiences and behavior.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- DEMUXED 2024 — Poor video performance, outages and pirated streams can cause significant issues for streaming—and these issues can be catastrophic for live events where demand is high and viewers don't want to miss a single second. To help streaming companies immediately see and respond to these issues, Hydrolix, the streaming data lake company disrupting the economics of big data, has teamed with Mux, the company behind the leading video streaming and monitoring platform for developers, to extend infrastructure observability to every screen.
Key Points:
- Hydrolix is partnering with Mux to extend video observability to the screen for streaming video providers.
- The Hydrolix platform ingests, stores and queries terabytes of log data while providing cost-effective, long-term storage, and sub-second query latency on all of the data — whether it's a minute or a year old. This makes Hydrolix an ideal fit for origin-to-edge observability and content delivery network (CDN) monitoring, which typically generate large volumes of data.
- Mux Data provides comprehensive metrics for a deep understanding of video quality of experience across applications available on all device platforms. With Mux, streaming companies can quickly detect and fix potential quality of experience issues like playback failures, long video startup time, rebuffering latency and video quality.
- Combined, Hydrolix retains and analyzes data from Mux along with origin and edge services log data and presents critical insights in one dashboard so that on-demand streamers can immediately spot quality of experience issues throughout their content's digital journey.
- The Mux integration is compatible with Cascade, Hydrolix's managed observability service for AWS; TrafficPeak, an Akamai Cloud observability solution powered by Hydrolix; and other solutions powered by the Hydrolix streaming data lake.
Combined, Hydrolix and Mux provide unique benefits that other platforms can't provide, including:
- Next-level CDN monitoring — now with video analytics included
- Real-time origin-to-edge observability including for major events generating millions of log lines per second
- Long-term historical analytics for a deep understanding of user engagement and trends over time
