Case Study: LinkedIn achieves reliable, scalable company-wide All Hands livestreams and 75% bandwidth reduction with Kollective Technology

LinkedIn empowered to scale and improve its innovative All Hands meetings

LinkedIn faced recurring reliability and scaling problems delivering its Company All Hands live broadcasts to a growing global workforce of over 11,000 employees. Past systems frequently failed under load—triggering code‑yellows, on‑call IT staff and lost streams—so LinkedIn sought a solution that would scale across Macs and PCs, offer simple sign‑in, analytics and strong security. They selected Kollective and its Software Defined Enterprise Content Delivery Network (SD ECDN).

Kollective’s SD ECDN delivered reliable, high‑quality live video with enterprise security, deep analytics and a painless deployment, freeing LinkedIn’s production team to focus on content. As a result, livestream viewers increased by 35%, average view time rose to 51 minutes, and corporate network bandwidth usage dropped by 75%; the Kollective solution eliminated streaming worries and enabled richer All Hands programming.
