Viewers expect the same level of service whether watching content delivered over the internet or via traditional broadcast technology. And, with an increasing amount of time spent watching streamed and on-demand content, media firms must now deliver a consistent playback and frictionless download experience. Against this backdrop, the role of the CDN (content delivery network) has never been more important. With CDNs providing geographically distributed servers and data centres they provide the means for hosting content closer to a viewer, delivering a faster and more reliable viewing experience. But for those who want to stream their content or make it available on demand, what are the considerations when devising a CDN strategy and selecting partners?
During this IBC365 webinar, a panel of experts will discuss:
- Understanding an audience’s needs
- Live, VoD or both?
- Dealing with latency
- Scaling for large events
- Creating interactive experiences
- Multi-format delivery
- Monitoring and data analysis
- Public v private CDNs
- Implementing an effective multi-CDN strategy
- Maximising global coverage
- Using CDN analytics
