Even though the CDN price-per-Gb is regularly decreasing, CDN costs for media delivery are growing every year as audiences, and therefore demand for content, expand. A second factor is that viewers are watching online content for longer periods of time than ever before. We are also seeing the demand for media quality shifting from very compressed to SD and to on to HD, which of course increases CDN capacity demands. In order to satisfy these shifting consumer content requirements while also minimising costs, Globecast is launching its Optim’Net solution, proving that peerassisted media delivery is ready for prime time. Peer-assisted content re-distribution technology is now mature, thanks to HTML5/WebRTC. It essentially combines the best properties of infrastructure CDNs with those that utilise peer-to-peer architecture. Visit stand A8.20 for a full demonstration.
