Who Can Benefit From the Content Delivery Network?

7 Operation-Related Capabilities of Kollective SD-ECDN

Content management has evolved from the management of simple documents to the management of video content. This is why enterprise video content management now plays a big role in many companies. Kontiki is already a part of Kollective and together they have revolutionised the process of enterprise video content management.

Here are some of the operation-related capabilities of Kollective Software Defined Enterprise Content Delivery Network (Kollective SD-ECDN):

1.   Topology Graphing

This is a start-up process that enables the discovery of problems during the entire operation. It can directly detect the source of a problem for a quick resolve. Aside from that, this feature also allows nodes to send reports on central servers.

2.   Reporting and Analytics

Allowing nodes to make reports to the central system periodically, quite often these reports include delivery event details, serving metrics and local loading, playback statistics of videos and other related data.

3.   Content Publishing

Kollective SD-ECDN is an enhanced ESDN. This means that the published and scheduled content has been authenticated. Only authorised users can publish content and connect to other users. This allows users to create logical content, add useful descriptions, determine the content schedule and availability and much more.

4.   Content Delivery

The content delivery method of Kollective SD-ECDN supports various modes. The delivery of content is also controlled. The user can control who is and who is not allowed to access certain content.

5.   Live Event Streaming

Live streaming can be difficult for some networks, especially if a lot of users access the live event at the same time. With Kollective SD-ECDN, certain nodes will help to elect an excellent lead node that will acquire a single copy of the stream across the WAN link. This will result in a better live event.

6.   Trust Establishment

The central servers, nodes in the network and each end-user device are given a unique certificate. This serves as an identifier in the network. To make it simple, there is less chance that this system will be accessed by malicious content or commands.

7.   Authentication

Most content is access-controlled. Users won’t be able to access content without prior request and authentication. Our system provides authentication modes such as usernames and passwords and several sign-on schemes to verify the users.

These are just a few of the many capabilities of Kollective SD-ECDN. If you have more questions or if you need enterprise video solutions please don’t hesitate to send us a message to info@kollective.com.
