RENNES, France -- Broadpeak, a leading provider of content delivery network (CDN) technologies and video streaming servers for cable, IPTV, OTT and hybrid TV operators worldwide, successfully launched its umbrellaCDN selection solution at IBC where it grabbed the attention of content providers interested in optimizing the delivery of their videos by contracting with several CDN service providers. umbrellaCDN won the CSI 2013 Award in the Best Web TV technology or service category this year at IBC.

In particular, umbrellaCDN allows content owners to combine the benefits of operatorCDN and globalCDNs when deploying OTT video services by selecting the most appropriate delivery solution at all time. “The growing range of new devices capable of receiving OTT video is providing an opportunity for content providers to directly address viewers by contracting with CDN service providers to distribute their content,” said Jacques Le Mancq, CEO of Broadpeak.

But in many instances, operators receive no remuneration from subscribers or content providers who go “over-the-top” to deliver services across their networks. “Operators possess the key assets needed to deploy their own CDNs so that they can provide better Quality of Service and Quality of Experience for subscribers. With this model they can share in a revenue chain between content providers, who appreciate better quality delivery, and subscribers,” Le Mancq said.
