NPAW Mid-Stream CDN Balancer: Redefining Streaming Dynamics
Enhanced Reliability
Our system proactively averts stream interruptions by automatically redirecting traffic if a CDN starts to falter. Even during unexpected traffic surges or CDN outages, viewers won’t be impacted.
Optimized Performance
We actively monitor network conditions in real time to maintain the best possible video quality, switching CDNs whenever it improves the viewer’s experience. Mid-stream balancing drastically reduces buffering and improves overall playback quality for each user. In one deployment, TVUP boosted its average bitrate from 4.83 Mbps to 5.35 Mbps and cut video start time from 2.8 s down to 2.5 s by using our Mid-Stream Balancer. Their buffering ratio also dropped from 0.90% to a mere 0.11%, virtually eliminating playback stalls.
Reduced CDN Costs
By balancing traffic based on both performance and price, NPAW’s solution significantly lowers your CDN expenses. The platform automatically favors the most cost-efficient CDN as long as quality metrics are met, switching only when necessary. This approach translates into meaningful bandwidth cost savings.
