PARIS and NEW YORK,
Oct. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Streamroot, the leader in hybrid OTT video delivery, today
announced that Dailymotion, a preeminent video hosting platform,
has selected Streamroot to better control cost and quality of
service across the globe.
Dailymotion has implemented Streamroot's patented peer-to-peer
delivery technology on both its live and VoD content. This
innovative, plugin-free solution is designed to help the
broadcaster deliver its content more efficiently and scale
profitably over the long run.
With an increasing amount of video available on better-connected
and higher-quality devices, delivery is becoming increasingly
cost-prohibitive. The Streamroot services suite has proven to:
- Offload as much as 90% of content from content delivery
networks (CDNs)
- Improve performance by optimizing delivery across last mile
connections
- Increase audience engagement on longer VoD content
- Scale indefinitely without added CDN expense
- Lower the total cost of running a multi-million audience
infrastructure
"With over 100 million video views per day, ensuring robust
video delivery is of paramount importance to Dailymotion," says
Pierre-Yves Kerembellec, Head of Video Architecture. "Streamroot
offers us this possibility. Their technology scales naturally to
exploding audiences and to unpredictable traffic spikes, whilst at
the same time keeping our delivery costs down and ensuring
excellent quality."
Guillaume du Pontavice, Streaming Experience Architect at
Dailymotion adds, "We have worked closely with Streamroot on both
delivery and on questions surrounding our video player. The
integration with Streamroot's technology was seamless, and their
expertise in HTML5 video has proven highly valuable."
"We are excited to have one of the world's largest video
platforms – and most forward-looking companies – as one of our
customers," says Streamroot CEO Pierre-Louis Théron. "Our
transparent peer-to-peer technology is the perfect addition to
Dailymotion's own infrastructure; it will allow the company to
cost-effectively deliver large volumes of video while improving
viewing experience at the same time."
The initial rollout focuses on Dailymotion's HTML5 web player.
Mobile and other platforms are expected to be launched soon. "We
look forward to expanding our relationship in the coming months and
broadening the reach of the technology," Théron adds.
