Case Study: Irdeto achieves seamless, scalable performance for 100,000+ concurrent users with BlazeMeter

How Irdeto’s Load Testing Meets Dynamic Media Demands

Irdeto, a Netherlands‑based leader in Multiscreen and media protection for Pay‑TV and OTT operators, needed to ensure its Multiscreen platform delivered seamless, on‑demand experiences across devices even with 100,000+ concurrent users. The challenge was to model realistic, complex user journeys—browsing, purchasing and playing protected content (including Google Wallet)—across many systems and to validate performance under dynamic ramp‑up and ramp‑down conditions.

Partnering with BlazeMeter, Irdeto created JMeter‑based scenarios (using Ultimate Thread Group and Throughput Controller), scaled tests to hundreds of thousands of virtual users, and adjusted scenario weights on the fly. The testing quickly exposed bottlenecks, demonstrated the platform could withstand sudden loads of tens of thousands of users, and gave Irdeto confidence that customer experience targets would be met.
