Case Study: Rakuten TV achieves scalable high-quality streaming in Europe with Edgecast

Engineering 10x Growth in Europe

Rakuten TV, a video-on-demand service operating across 42 European countries, needed to deliver flawless streaming on every device while scaling rapidly. To meet this challenge, the company partnered with Edgecast to improve latency, uptime, and multi-CDN load balancing, with a focus on key performance metrics like buffering ratio, throughput, and response time.

Edgecast’s Technical Account Management (TAM) team provided ongoing performance monitoring, custom caching rules, configuration tuning, and regional scalability enhancements across Edgecast’s network in Europe. These optimizations helped Rakuten TV deliver more videos to more subscribers with fewer rebuffers and playback delays, resulting in stable streaming quality and growth in both subscribers and video playback.
