Wowza Media Systems announced a partnership with Skytide, the leader in online video management analytics, to give CDN and IPTV providers tools for building enormously scalable and manageable networks.
The solution combines market-leading Wowza Media Server 3 software with Skytide's Insight for CDNs analytics and reporting application.
The joint solution has already been proven through deployments with a number of network operators, including Telefonica, as well as CDN platforms from Jet-Stream, Hewlett-Packard, and Broadpeak.
“The collaboration between our companies enables operators to deliver content to any screen efficiently and have a full suite of business analytics that are essential for running a CDN,” said Alex Dobrushin, chief marketing officer for Wowza Media Systems. “Through partnerships with best-of-breed companies like Skytide, we can offer our customers the components needed to deliver cost-effective, easy-to-manage, massively scalable networks."
Skytide Insight for CDNs leverages the detailed per-session logging collected by Wowza Media Server software, easily processing huge volumes of data and quickly turning it into detailed reports that guide decision-making for capacity planning, service quality, pricing and billing, and other critical business processes.
It also analyzes and aggregates the highly fragmented data generated by adaptive bit rate streaming from multiple protocols supported by Wowza Media Server software, and quickly transforms it into hundreds of meaningful reports in just minutes.
