Hybrid over-the-top (OTT) video delivery specialist Streamroot has entered a global reseller agreement with content delivery infrastructure firm GlobalDots.

GlobalDots customers will be able to use Streamroot’s peer-to-peer solution as a complementary technology to their existing platform.

Streamroot requests content segments from both CDNs as well as from peer-users, to enable optimised costs for publishers delivering large quantities of streaming video.

“Offering high quality video at scale is of paramount importance to our customers; we naturally sought to partner with Streamroot,” says Yuval Rachlin, founder and CEO of GlobalDots. “Streamroot can be used in tandem with the existing CDN solutions in our portfolio, and brings great value in its ability to improve performance, streamline cost and more intelligently provision bandwidth.”

Streamroot co-founder and CEO Pierre-Louis Theron added: “Streamroot is the perfect complement to GlobalDots’ video CDN solutions. This is an unparalleled opportunity for customers who are looking to gain a competitive edge, fortify their delivery infrastructure and deliver more or higher-quality video within their current CDN budget.”
