Case Study: Vixy Video achieves 100% player uptime and scalable global OTT delivery with Akamai Technologies

VIXY is ready for new business challenges by taking advantage of Akamai’s OTT Media Services

VIXY is an Amsterdam-based startup that provides an OTT online video platform and optimized players for publishers and content owners, delivering millions of streams to more than 150 countries. Rapid growth strained its origin infrastructure and network partner, threatening peak-time streaming quality and VIXY’s 100% player-uptime guarantee while it also prepared to migrate from Flash to HTML5.

VIXY partnered with Akamai, deploying Adaptive Media Delivery and NetStorage and completing the Flash-to-HTML5 migration in about two months. The move offloaded roughly 40% of network traffic, ensured global high-quality playback, enabled faster client onboarding (a complete video can be on Akamai within minutes), and freed VIXY’s team to focus on product innovation and larger customers.
