Case Study: iStreamPlanet delivers TV-quality, uninterrupted online streaming for global broadcasters with Akamai Technologies

Istreamplanet Partners With Akamai To Deliver An Online Experience Comparable To The Quality Of A Television Broadcast

iStreamPlanet is a cloud-based video-workflow company that prepares and delivers live-event and linear streaming channels for broadcasters and rights holders. For the Vancouver Olympics they ingested dozens of feeds into a Las Vegas encoding facility and processed thousands of hours of live and on‑demand programming, while facing the technical challenge of many simultaneous signals and events that must be reacted to instantly to avoid interruptions.

To meet that challenge they partnered with Akamai, feeding encoded origin services directly into Akamai’s globally distributed network for reliable delivery. The end‑to‑end solution enabled broadcasters and content owners to provide an uninterrupted, high‑quality online experience complementary to traditional television broadcasts.
