High-Load Video Streaming Platforms

Peak traffic increases egress cost and destabilizes playback. Move heavy video workloads to a dedicated streaming infrastructure with a video-focused CDN and network. Platforms reduce delivery spend, improve start time, and deal with fewer incidents.

USE CASES

Video & media platforms we power

High-traffic entertainment tubes

High load exposes weak points in delivery and caching. We provide the infrastructure to keep large catalogs smooth worldwide with predictable delivery and storage spend.

Live cam & interactive streaming platforms

Latency and jitter break real-time UX at scale. We provide low-latency delivery infrastructure so chat, reactions, and payments stay in sync, even at peak audiences.

Online cinemas & VOD OTT services

Premieres stress origin and delivery and surface quality drops. We provide the infrastructure for fast starts and stable quality across big libraries, reducing churn and support load.

Large files & media stock libraries

Big assets strain storage throughput and downloads. We provide infrastructure for quick previews and multi-GB delivery 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

Protected video delivery at scale

Lower cost per view as cache-hit rises
Faster starts and smoother playback worldwide
Stop hotlinking and unauthorized sharing
Fewer peak-hour incidents with a quiet origin
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

Dedicated Servers vs. Bare Metal: What’s the Difference?

In infrastructure, two terms appear everywhere yet remain widely misunderstood: Dedicated Server and Bare Metal Server. To some, they mean the same thing. To others, even long-standing Fortune 500 companies like IBM, they mean something different. Providers put out definitions of their own, and they’re not always aligned with how the technology actually works. The […]

From limitations to scalability: How we transformed a high-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 […]
