Why it's better

Until now, content delivery networks have had to build their own analytics & reporting solutions using expensive business intelligence tools. But BI tools are not suitable for CDN analytics & reporting.

Skytide Insight for CDNs is a better solution. It's a battle tested application that can process massive amounts of diverse data — including adaptive bitrate streaming logs — and turn around reports within an hour.

And only Skytide enables you to provide your customers and business partners with their own secure portal to view network activity specific to their operations.

Streaming servers across your network send log file records via FTP to central analytic server

Analytical engine uses Skytide's patented analytical process to turn the raw log data into aggregated business information

CDN team and their customers and business partners access interactive dashboards via internal networks and/or the Internet
