Hivelocity has introduced a new streaming infrastructure solution designed for video platforms and media services. This platform caters to the increased need for efficient streaming infrastructure. Also, it allows managing the increased costs associated with high-bandwidth usage. The company created the Streaming Bundle to facilitate the transfer of large amounts of content. It consists of specialized equipment and stable bandwidth costs. Thus, the cost of streaming is easier to control. The proposed streaming network solution also has built-in DDoS protection. As streaming audiences expand, infrastructure costs continue to rise. In particular, outbound bandwidth charges create financial pressure. Many cloud providers charge per gigabyte of data delivered. Consequently, costs increase with higher viewership and longer watch times.
“Cloud egress pricing taxes streaming platforms for succeeding,” says Ned Pope, Chief Product Officer at Hivelocity. “Every new viewer, every increase in bitrate, every extra minute of watch time impacts the bandwidth bill. We built the Streaming Bundle around flat bandwidth commitments, so delivery is a cost a platform can plan for instead of one that climbs with every gigabyte existing.”
Hivelocity Enhances Streaming Performance with Dedicated Compute Options
At the same time, platforms need to provide performance and uptime. Streaming events can attract not only many viewers but also malicious traffic. Hivelocity solves this problem by providing single-tenant architecture and dedicated networking. Customers get higher reliability and better control as a consequence of this. The Streaming Bundle allows for covering various steps of the streaming process. This solution provides for three compute tiers depending on requirements. All of them provide good performance and scalability. Engineering Compute is a tier for pre-production activities.
Production Compute is concerned with critical streams. It can be used to authenticate, bill, and manage content. It can also be used for DRM license and ad decisioning. It guarantees efficient running of the platform. Delivery Compute is designed to cater to bandwidth-hungry media tasks. It comes with powerful CPU cores as well as dense NVMe storage. In addition, it offers high bandwidth and hybrid cloud connectivity.
Through the architecture, the customers are able to have their GPU jobs done in the cloud. In addition, they can use bare metal infrastructure for packaging and distributing the content. Through this, platforms will gain flexibility and efficiency. Hivelocity designed this streaming infrastructure platform to make scaling easy for media platforms. Through this, the companies will be able to concentrate on providing quality content.
