Case Study: ITVX achieves flawless record-breaking streaming performance with Fastly

ITVX - Customer Case Study

ITVX, the UK broadcaster’s ad-supported streaming service, needed to rapidly expand capacity and improve content delivery for massive live events like the FIFA World Cup and Love Island. With millions of concurrent viewers and a bandwidth crunch looming, ITVX turned to Fastly and its CDN platform to ensure uninterrupted, high-quality streaming.

Fastly quickly provisioned and integrated its CDN in just two weeks, working closely with ITVX’s engineering team to support real-time traffic shifting and rapid scaling across a multi-CDN setup. The result was flawless delivery during record-breaking World Cup viewership, including resolving an unexpected issue in five minutes, and ITVX later expanded its use of Fastly to further improve resiliency and viewer experience.
