In a world where live video has become a key element of corporate communication, broadcast quality is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether for internal or external communications, the first few seconds of your live stream are crucial for audience engagement (over 50% of viewers drop off a live stream in less than 90 seconds if the quality is poor).
But how can you ensure a high-quality video experience for viewers across the globe, without worrying about available bandwidth? Sparkup has the solution with its Peer-to-Peer eCDN technology, and it's a game-changer.
What is a CDN and an eCDN exactly?
To understand the revolution of Sparkup’s Peer-to-Peer eCDN, you first need to know what a traditional CDN is. A CDN, or Content Delivery Network, is a network of geographically dispersed servers that deliver content based on the location of the end users. This helps boost the speed and coverage of content delivery. If that still doesn’t ring a bell, think back to the loading times you endured a few years ago while streaming your favorite series, and you’ll understand the value of a CDN.
In a corporate setting, an eCDN (Enterprise Content Delivery Network) takes over. An eCDN focuses on internal use, optimizing content delivery to hundreds or even thousands of employees, wherever they may be. Here’s where the magic happens: you enjoy smooth distribution without overwhelming your internal network. In other words, an eCDN is the corporate version of a CDN, ensuring secure and seamless internal video streaming.
The problem with traditional eCDNs: Extra costs for your business
While a traditional eCDN gets the job done, the reality is more complex. Imagine a livestream or webinar that gathers all employees. The internal network can quickly become congested, leading to slowdowns, degraded video quality, and a disengaged audience. These are the challenges companies face when their network environments are overwhelmed by traditional eCDN solutions.
And that’s not all. As bandwidth demand grows, so do server and energy costs, as well as the carbon footprint of your broadcast. Every technical issue, every second of latency, adds both ecological and financial costs. Poor streaming results in lost audience engagement, wasted money, and a higher carbon footprint.
This is where Sparkup changes the game.
Peer-to-Peer eCDN technology for smoother, HD streaming that’s also sustainable
Welcome to the era of uncompromised live streaming and Green Streaming with Sparkup’s Peer-to-Peer eCDN solution. With a Peer-to-Peer approach, Sparkup offers technology where each viewer also acts as a broadcaster, sharing the content they are watching with other participants.
Instead of relying on a central server to deliver video to every user, the load is distributed among all viewers. In simple terms: the more viewers there are, the faster and more stable the stream becomes. No more bandwidth spikes crashing your internal network. Each person watching actively contributes to making the stream smoother for everyone else.
What benefits does this bring to your business? Doing more with less.
