Most streaming platform operators employ multiple CDNs today but doing so effectively (and quickly) can be very challenging. It requires both programming (business logic) and data. Unfortunately, there isn’t a standard way to do this. Operators either have to roll their own or choose a vendor who’s service may not work exactly as required (but is “good enough”). And, what’s more, there isn’t a real consensus on whether or not this CDN switching should be done at the client or server. Thankfully, data solutions have come into the market, like CMCD, that can provide information to help facilitate automated decision making. In this webinar, members of the SVTA Players and Playback group will talk about the current state of multi-CDN switching, some of the work being done in the group, and what’s next.
