IO River

Most of IO River’s clients are part of the video streaming industry, which is not a coincidence. ___ Video Streaming companies dealing with large traffic volumes turn to skyrocketing CDN bills. Multi-CDN is the most effective approach to reducing CDN expenses. 75% of video providers are already Multi-CDN or are planning to add additional CDNs shortly. ___ Let's dive into the numbers: 🟡 26% Using multiple third-party CDNs 🟡 21% Hybrid model of private CDN with third-party CDN(s) 🟡 28% Using single third-party CDN, with plans to add others So why Multi-CDN? Multi-CDN is not a technology, it is just a strategy. It is famous for being cost-effective since it was developed to solve any issues, but last and foremost to help online services free themselves from Vendor Lock-in. —--- Content Delivery Network providers focus on promoting and selling add-on services such as WAF, Rate Limiting, Edge computing, File size optimization, etc, and it is for a reason. That add-on application generates stickiness. Online services invest time and energy to add more configurations that impede online service to negotiate the pricing with the CDN vendor. CDN providers are aware that online services are avoiding migration, so they take advantage of this and keep their prices high. —----- Today CDN migration is simple and non-considrble. The cost-saving potential is huge, sometimes it reaches 32% and 40%, only by shifting from a Single to Multi-CDN environment.

#IBC24: A Good Time to Pause and Assess How Far We’ve Come 🚀 Two years ago, NPAW surveyed 282 industry leaders to understand the state of video streaming infrastructure. They asked, "What infrastructure are you using to distribute your content?" The responses painted a picture of a rapidly evolving industry: ➡️ 28% were using a single third-party CDN, with plans to expand ➡️ 26% were leveraging multiple third-party CDNs ➡️ 25% were sticking with a single third-party CDN, with no plans to add more ➡️ 21% were pioneering a hybrid model, combining private and third-party CDNs As we approach IBC24, it’s a great moment to pause and assess the journey of the video streaming industry. How far have we come, and where are we headed next? We’d love to hear from you: What infrastructure are you using today? Let’s explore how the industry's landscape has transformed!

Year after year, you strive to enhance every QoE metric and reduce your significant CDN expenses. Video streaming, whether live or offline, presents a challenge: as your end-users seek a superior entertainment experience, they purchase larger TVs with higher resolutions, pushing you to deliver higher bitrates. (What was wrong with Toshiba Bomba?!) Although CDNs are critical components, they come with a substantial cost burden. As the owner of your infrastructure's budget, it’s natural to seek financial solutions to reduce your expenses and increase profitability. We've created a list of three key focus areas to ensure your infrastructure is stronger by the time IBC arrives next year. #ibc24 #ibc #ioriver #videostreaming

Getting ready for #IBC24, we’re curious about what’s changed since last year 🤓 Every week, we talk to many customers in the Video Streaming world who are still very cost-sensitive. CDN transit and distribution costs are high, so finding new ways to cut expenses is crucial. We also see performance issues, like improving Max Bitrate and reducing Rebuffering. For Live Streaming, using Multi CDN has become essential to boost performance and handle CDN capacity. We’d love to hear about your challenges and get a better understanding of what’s happening at #IBC24. #ioriver #virtualedge #videostreaming #cdn
