Kontiki provides a revolutionary way of engaging employees through enterprise video solutions. Their online video platfrom, the Kontiki Enterprise Video Suite, has several components, some of which include Webcaster, MediaCenter, Stream for Chatter and many more. This article focuses on one of these essential components, the Enterprise Content Delivery Network (ECDN).
What is ECDN?
ECDN is a cloud-based, centralised server for enterprise video management. It is a distributed client software that is used for effective enterprise video delivery. Think of it as a traditional web hosting site, where people upload certain files for the purpose of sharing. The only difference with Kontiki’s ECDN is that only the management of an enterprise and its employees can access the content.
What is the connection between ECDN and video content delivery?
The problem with video content delivery is usually the size of the media files to be hosted and distributed. The good thing is that Kontiki can host high-definition videos, with their production cloud, to deliver the videos to employees.
What are the important features of Kontiki’s ECDN?
Here are some of them:
- Content security and authentication feature – Only authorised users can publish video content into the server and only authenticated employees can request and receive video content. This feature also assures clients that the live streams and library video streams are encrypted while crossing over to the network. Hence, they cannot be stolen. There are also digital signatures to be generated by a central authority that ensure the integrity of the video content.
- Central management – This feature allows network administrators to customise video content delivery by domain.
- Cloud-based server – This feature allows the video content to be distributed efficiently to the employees of the company, in various locations. It does not require caching, routing or any bandwidth upgrades.
- Self-scaling feature – The Kontiki video content delivery technology automatically increases capacity and speed when more desktops are added. New computers or offices that are added to the ECDN will be automatically video-enabled.
