USE CASES

Video & media platforms we power

High-traffic entertainment video

Smooth playback for sensitive, high-traffic catalogs with predictable delivery and storage spend worldwide.

Live cam & interactive streaming

Low-latency streams keep chat, reactions, and payments in sync, even at peak audiences.

Online cinemas & VOD OTT

Fast starts and stable quality for big libraries and premieres, reducing churn and support load.

Large files & media stock libraries

Quick previews and downloads for multi-gigabyte files with transparent per-TB economics as you grow.

*Example averages 12 months after moving high-load video workloads to dedicated infrastructure with a video-focused CDN; actual impact varies by platform.

Videos start faster

Your viewers get quicker first frames and smoother playback, even during premieres and peak hours.

Less ops noise

Your team sees fewer incidents and late-night alerts from the video stack.

Pay less for delivery

You spend less on traffic and infrastructure as your audience and catalog grow.

Easier to scale

Scaling for new releases, regions, or live events becomes a capacity question, not a platform rewrite.

More control

You keep direct control over servers, storage, and network, so tuning performance or cost is straightforward.

Content protected

Signed URLs, abuse controls, and access rules reduce scraping, theft, and unpaid usage across your catalog.

CDN / DELIVERY

Lower delivery cost

Playback runs on dedicated streaming infrastructure and a video-focused network, so delivery and bandwidth costs grow slower than traffic.

Video files stream directly from dedicated CDN nodes

HLS/DASH manifests go through an Anycast edge

Can be combined in a custom setup to keep origin egress low

LOW LATENCY

Faster playback in key regions

Place compute where your audience is. EU+US today; APAC when needed.

Lower latency with regional presence

Private inter-DC optical ring in NL

Tier-1 IP blend and high-density racks

EFFICIENT OPERATIONS

Simpler operations with one partner

Design to operations under one SLA and control panel. You focus on product.

Bare metal, private cloud, network, and storages as one stack

Video CDN and static CDN with unified controls

24/7 monitoring, and fast hardware replacement

OPTIMIZED STORAGE

Lower storage cost without risking speed

Tiered hot, warm, and cold storage keeps frequently watched titles on fast NVMe and long-tail content on cheaper disks.

NVMe tier for ingest, packaging, and top-viewed content

High-capacity HDD for the main catalog at a better price per TB

Archive tier (JBOD or cluster storage) for rarely watched content at minimal cost

success story

From 270 Mb/s at 100% CPU to 1.2 GB/s at 40% CPU

A KVS-based VOD service hit 100% CPU on a two-server setup at just 270 Mb/s. We rebuilt the stack with multi-level caching, horizontal scaling, and proactive monitoring — all without downtime.

CPU at same traffic: -40%*
Throughput: 270 MB/s – 1/2 Gb/s
Zero-downtime migration and scaling

approach

Audit → multi-level caching → horizontal scaling → 24/7 proactive monitoring

What changed

From one overloaded server to a distributed cluster with higher cache-hit, softer CPU curves, and clear headroom per new node

results

4× traffic at ~40% CPU, stable UX at peaks, and lower OPEX from delayed hardware upgrades

From limitations to scalability: How we transformed ahigh-traffic VOD platform

Challenges Performance BottlenecksAs traffic on the platform increased to 270Mb/s, the existing infrastructure struggled to keep up, leading to serious performance bottlenecks. The single-server setup was overwhelmed, with CPU limitations causing noticeable slowdowns and significant degradation of the web resource during prime time. Illustration below: CDN traffic lost half of the value when Web resource […]
