Case Study: Stage Audio Works achieves global low-latency live streaming with Gcore

How we helped an African concert equipment provider go international online The case of Stage Audio Works

Stage Audio Works, Africa's largest provider of audio, video, and lighting equipment, needed to offer its customers a stable live streaming solution that could reliably broadcast events globally. Their challenge was the geographic remoteness of South Africa from major international servers, which caused unstable streaming on public platforms. They partnered with Gcore to power their new StreamWorks service.

Gcore implemented its streaming platform and content delivery network, adding key features like in-memory caching and optimized origin shielding. Crucially, Gcore installed a pre-cache server in Johannesburg to shorten the data path for African users. This solution provided a high-quality, low-latency broadcast service, enabling Stage Audio Works to successfully stream events for Fortune 500 companies worldwide.
