What it does

To compete against large pure-play CDNs for global online video delivery, a federated CDN must be able to offer content owners with “one stop shopping.”

To help CDN federation operators deliver this experience, Skytide functions as a centralized analytics & reporting exchange, providing a unified view of streaming video performance across the federation. Skytide can:

  • Process logs from multiple CDNs, even if they use different technology platforms or produce different log formats
  • Display data in many different formats: Skytide dashboards, other dashboards, scheduled reports by email and APIs to other systems
  • Offer multiple views of data to different federation stakeholders
  • Accommodate new and changing requirements

Why it's better

Skytide is uniquely capable of providing an online video analytics & reporting hub for federated CDNs because:

  • It can handle the complexities of CDN federation because it is powered by the patented Skytide Analytical Platform, built specifically for high-volume, high-velocity, multi-dimensional analytics.
  • It allows federation operators to offer customers and partners secure portals that provide appropriate levels of data visibility.
  • It is tested tough. Five of the world's 15 largest telecom service providers rely on Skytide's online video analytics & reporting to optimize their streaming video performance.


How it works

Skytide's common data model and patented analytical process enables it to process huge volumes of disparate data of varying formats from across the federation value chain.

It can aggregate and process log files from a host of different telecom service providers, quickly turn the data into over 200 reports and — importantly — provide the appropriate level of visibility to this data among federation participants.
