Case Study: Fortune 500 technology company achieves enterprise-wide, high-quality live video with MediaPlatform’s WebCaster and multicast fusion

Fortune 500 Company - Customer Case Study

Fortune 500 Company engaged MediaPlatform to pilot multicast fusion on the Adobe® Flash® Platform, using MediaPlatform’s WebCaster enterprise webcasting tool and its OSMF‑based Flash player (MFVP). The company’s challenge was to move away from legacy Real® streaming and scale live video across global sites without costly network upgrades, while satisfying IT’s multicast performance constraints and business stakeholders’ demands for high quality, low‑latency streams.

MediaPlatform implemented a multicast fusion solution that combined IP multicast and peer‑assisted application‑level multicast via Flash Media Server, WebCaster and the MFVP. In the real‑world pilot the solution delivered high‑quality live streams to all participants with surprisingly low bandwidth usage and no network performance issues, supported primary/backup and multi‑studio origins, and enabled per‑viewer stream matching—demonstrating MediaPlatform could scale enterprise video to the entire internal audience without major network upgrades.
