MediaPlatform Smartpath® Critical for Managing Complexity of Delivering Video to Hybrid Workforces

技术帮助客户减少CDN超额费用, 克服VPN瓶颈，优化可用带宽

洛杉矶(2021年6月14日)

MediaPlatform’s Smartpath intelligent video distribution and failover solution is yielding new benefits to customers as their employees have transitioned to hybrid in-office and remote work arrangements that have increased network traffic and the number of employees accessing corporate resources from mobile devices and home networks,

MediaPlatform的网络不可知方法以MediaPlatform Smartpath为中心, which provides a framework for format and adaptive bitrate streaming delivery and failover distribution rules optimized for the enterprise’s specific network conditions. Smartpath acts as an overlay network that uses a rule-based IP address analysis to assign a compatible stream across a variety of end point distribution technologies – from VPNs, 局域网- Wi-Fi和ecdn防火墙后, 到外部对等提供商和cdn -以及跨桌面, 平板电脑, 或者移动设备.

Customers further optimize their delivery capabilities using MediaPlatform Edge® eCDN software. MediaPlatform Edge is a secure stream splitting/caching video engine that not only stream splits live video content but also allows for pre-positioning and caching of on-demand video content. 该软件可以作为公司范围的eCDN进行部署, intelligently peering to comprise an organization-wide eCDN for all video streaming.

MediaPlatform customers are leveraging Smartpath to alleviate VPN bottlenecks and optimize efficiency across multiple delivery technologies in the following ways:

• Using Smartpath to detect viewers' location and target different bitrate streams so they are optimized for the viewer’s location, 用户是否在局域网内, WAN或VPN用户，该VPN用户已经进行了隧道分裂.
• 使用Smartpath定义MediaPlatform Edge服务器的角色, 哪一个可以作为源服务器发送单, high-quality stream across the network or as caching devices in remote locations.
• Using Smartpath and MediaPlatform Edge - along with peering and other distribution technologies - to map out extremely granular bandwidth optimization strategies with multiple failover options for every viewer.
• Using Smartpath to white- and black-list IP ranges for bandwidth and security purposes. Customers have excluded VPN ranges from receiving video streams to prevent VPN overload, while others have blocked every IP address except specific VPN IP ranges to ensure that only internal users can view the live stream.
• 使用Smartpath按IP范围控制视频质量. MediaPlatform customers will send very high-quality streams to the IP addresses of company auditoriums and viewing rooms, 例如, while others will send very low-bitrate streams to bandwidth-challenged locations to ensure that employees there can participate at least via audio stream.

“We saw a four-fold increase in the number of connections to our customer webcasts after the pandemic drove employees to work from home,迈克·纽曼说, MediaPlatform首席执行官. “Smartpath has been exceptionally valuable in helping these customers manage – from both a cost and quality perspective – the massive increase in viewer connections that will likely grow as companies commit to hybrid workforce plans,纽曼说.
