PALO ALTO, Calif., April 4, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Peer5, the leading serverless CDN technology provider, today announced the launch of a new service to help the world's leading media companies to deliver higher quality streams to the largest audiences anywhere in the world. This is the first time that OTT operators will be able to access a multi CDN solution as a service through a single unified API. The current release combines the delivery infrastructure of 15 leading CDNs with a combined throughput of 400 Tbps, enough to support 400 million concurrent viewers streaming at 1 Mbps each.
Peer5 MultiCDN performance, as measured by availability, latency, and throughput, is already #1 globally as well as in the USA and 20 other countries, as reported by the independent third-party CDN monitoring service Cedexis (by Citrix).
As online video audiences continue to grow exponentially, traditional CDNs are not able to keep up with the demand for delivery capacity. To handle the traffic spikes of major events, streaming providers are turning to multiple content delivery networks. However, managing the additional infrastructure and business complexity is proving to be prohibitive for all but the largest global companies; for everybody else, delivery remains a major bottleneck. Peer5 has solved this challenge by packaging 15 leading CDNs into a single service, tuned for video and configurable with a single API.
"In 2012 we started Peer5 with the mission to solve the scalability issues inherent in CDNs," explained Peer5 CEO Hadar Weiss. "Today we are partnering with leading global CDNs to create a completely decentralized network that customers can plug into to get the best performance possible in every region of the world. We are starting with 15 networks integrated into a single performance engineered solution and look forward to adding more CDN partners in the near future."
Peer5 MultiCDN is architected to offer organizations the highest quality video delivery infrastructure, powered by real time client- and server-side switching algorithms and robust routing technology, capable of switching instantly to the fastest available path. The real time decisioning, down to the segment level, significantly reduces the time it takes to overcome performance issues and can completely avoid QoE problems.
Providers already rely on Peer5 serverless delivery infrastructure to help them stream massive worldwide events, such as the World Cup. The 2018 World Cup broke streaming records and customers such as FuboTV, RTP Portugal and others delivered over 100 million streams using Peer5's technology.
Peer5 delivers the highest QoE to audiences of leading media & enterprise companies including Turner, Fubo TV, Company Webcast, RTP, Grupo Clarin, Sony and others.
