Content Owners

Content Owners

We work for an increasing number of content owners who do not want to outsource their content hosting and distribution. Some arguments are control, security and costs. These content owners are primarily broadcasters who have their own streaming farms or small CDNs.

Gain control

Content owners still feel that content delivery networks cannot offer the flexibility and the specific features they need to do their business. The feedback we get is that CDNs are not transparent. It can take days or even weeks for setting up a simple live stream. Although distribution is not a core activity of most content owners, it is logical that content owners developed their own ideas in a early stage of the CDN market.

Your own CDN solution?

Some content owners decided to build their own CDN. The downside of this approach is that this requires a lot of specific expertise and resources. We have seen too many cases where content owners underestimated the challenge of developing a CDN from scratch. The development costs rose, the CDN team grew, it took much longer than anticipated to introduce new features and to support new technologies. 


Content perspective

Most CDNs are developed from a network engineering perspective. That is why these CDNs have difficult and non-intuitive interfaces, and technical reports instead of usage reports. VideoExchange was built by content owners for content owners. We were a leading webcast production company. We needed a CDN to fit our needs. The difference is in the details: the design of the interface for instance: five screens and a professional dark GUI.

Partner with ISPs

Dropping your content traffic on an internet exchange is not the way to go. Your audience deserves the best QoS for your content. Why not make sure that the content is always successfully delivered? By working together with broadband operators, you can get your content closer to the end user. You can lower your operational costs. The operator can better control traffic on the network. You do not have to lose control by using VideoExchange.


Reinventing the wheel?

Pilots don't build their own airplanes. Couriers don't build their own mini-vans. Captains don't design their own ships. Film makers don't develop their own cameras. Book writers don't code their own Word processor... well you get the point.

 

Not invented here an issue? We fully understand that you want maximum control over the technologies in your network. You need the flexibility. But stick to your core activities, stop reinventing the wheel. Use our +15 years experience and our professional technologies to build a CDN that suits your needs.


Share CDN resources

The intelligent and flexible setup of VideoExchange, allows you and other VideoExchange, powered operators to offload traffic to each other. By sharing resources with other CDNs around the globe you can now offer optimized geographical delivery to your customers, with maximum control, and the lowest possible investments. By working together, small CDN operators can now compete with large scale CDNs.
