How Modern Video Streaming Can Help Your IT Organization
Modern
Video Streaming, being
· HTTP-based
· Connectionless
· Chunked
and
the technological development that is taking every realm, company, and business
by storm, can take the success and profits of your IT organization several
notches higher, too. Let us see how.
Whether
it is used in Ecommerce, Education, or, of course, Entertainment,
Modern Video Streaming can be having its own marked
characteristics, and plus points.
Enhancement
in Playback Experience. Modern Video Streaming can present two benefits to the
experience of video playback.
Ø Compatibility with a
wide range of mobile devices can be ensured with the utilization of HTTP, and
codecs which are widely adopted – such as H.264 for video, and AAC for audio.
Ø The usage of Adaptive Bitrate Streaming can ensure that
employees everywhere in the world get the best quality of playback experience –
be they working at their desks, on gigabit ethernet, or out in the field,
consuming media via a 4G network.
Enhancement
in Scalability. Once your company organizes a modern protocol for itself, the network
underlying presents scalability as an inherent benefit. In the case of legacy
protocols like RTMP, scalability can only be attained when you invest,
additionally, in specialized software and hardware. Why HTTP is considered the
model option for streaming on-demand content that is frequently accessed, as
also for the streaming of large scale live events, is that HTTP servers are in
all places; the protocol has a native support for edge caching, mirroring.
Cut
in Costs. Organizations can save money (and perhaps invest that on
specialized hardware, and software) when protocols such as the HLS leverage the
HTTP server network present. HTTP caching proxies can cut the expenditure on bandwidth that is associated with
uncached video to a large extent, with the increase in the utilization of
video.
Decrease
in Management Complexity. Modern Video Streaming
eliminates the need to deploy, and manage a separate caching infrastructure by
letting businesses consolidate the video network traffic to HTTP, with the
usage of TCP ports 443, and 80. Modern video streaming can augment the
manageability at the edge of network by assisting the video content in
traversing firewalls. In the case of nearly all corporate networks, protocol,
and port restriction are used to some extent to minimize the attack surface
area. Ports 443 and 80 can be open nearly all the time, for the flow of generic
web traffic; but legacy protocols (for example RTMP and RTSP) might not receive
this treatment always.
