OTT and IPTV software solutions provider Anevia is launching what it claims is the world’s first cloud-native content delivery network solution.

Explaining the rationale for its launch at a time when operators are increasingly wanting to deploy their own CDNs, Anevia said that with operators generally only using 6% of their available CDN capacity, 94% of the capacity goes to waste as it is only used during peak traffic times. The new architecture for Anevia’s next-generation CDN product, NEA-CDN 5.0, is based on cloud-native technologies to allow operators to run a CDN on-premise or on public or private cloud, as well as on edge-based resources or data centre-based resources, to be compatible with hybrid infrastructures.

As the first CDN based on the Kubernetes infrastructure, the NEA-CDN 5.0 range is designed to enable operators to deploy their own CDN while using its capacity to deliver high-quality services, meeting requirements even during peak traffic.

Allowing operators to scale their infrastructure up or down instantly as demand changes is also said to will also allow operators to have greater control over their operational cost as well as the quality of the delivery. Services supported include time-shifted TV, video-on-demand and 4K/Ultra HD TV and video.

“Our customers have expressed a strong need for a flexible infrastructure that enables them to scale up and down as traffic demands fluctuate,” said David Tencer, product owner, NEA-CDN, Anevia. “We have integrated bleeding-edge, future-proof technologies, such as Kubernetes, to create a long-awaited solution that meets this need.”
