The way we stream and consume content is not how it used to be – and this is placing huge pressure on media companies. Why? Because the rising demand in streaming high-quality videos is straining outdated systems and infrastructures. And the issue is only intensifying. As audiences grow and content formats evolve, the costs involved in delivering content are rising faster than revenue. The addition of operational inefficiencies, vendor fragmentation and market volatility are only amplifying the challenge. So, we conducted a report to uncover the solutions.

Overcoming the limits of legacy infrastructure
From 8K video and interactive layers to snackable mobile content and ad personalisation, the requirements of content delivery are outpacing what legacy infrastructure was built to handle. But media ecosystem players are hesitant to make the necessary investment that would improve CDN capabilities – budgets are limited and profits are the priority. What does this mean for them? They must figure out how to deliver more, faster and better – all while spending less.

And secondly, we’re looking under the bonnet and saying, ‘Well, what other things have we got here that actually we can just drive cost out of?’ We don’t want to put tons and tons more infrastructure in. That's not economic for the broadcasters and streamers. It's not economic for telcos either.”
