New partnership between Agile Content and GlobalDots promises to introduce automated multi-CDN solutions, optimizing content delivery and easing provider management for broadcasters worldwide.
Amsterdam, Netherlands, September 9th, 2024 – Agile Content, a leading provider of digital TV and video distribution solutions, proudly announces its strategic partnership with GlobalDots, a global leader in cloud performance optimization and content delivery. This collaboration is set to bring groundbreaking advancements to CDN management, ahead of their joint showcase at IBC 2024.
Through this partnership, Agile Content, in collaboration with GlobalDots, is introducing a revolutionary approach to CDN management. The integration of Agile’s CDN Director product with GlobalDots’ expertise enables automatic offloads to multiple pre-integrated top-tier and global CDNs. This eliminates the need for clients to establish individual agreements with CDN providers, simplifying and optimizing content delivery processes.
GlobalDots brings decades of CDN experience, complementing Agile Content’s expertise in video delivery solutions. This powerful synergy guarantees clients access to unparalleled knowledge and support in CDN management, from initial migration and configuration to ongoing implementation of best practices.
Agile Content will showcase the new integrations at IBC 2024, taking place from September 13-16 in Amsterdam (booth 5.D74).
Agile CDN Director is a cutting-edge solution that enables seamless, automatic offloading to multiple pre-integrated, top-tier CDNs through predictive load balancing and in-stream switching, ensuring optimal performance based on real-time network conditions. Partnering with GlobalDots enhances this offering by providing expert support in CDN migration, configuration, and ongoing management, while also delivering cost-effective, flexible pay-per-use pricing and advanced control over traffic, latency, and security, ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability for users.
Jens Forum-Jensen, Agile Content’s Head of Partnerships, emphasized the value of the collaboration with GlobalDots, highlighting how it strengthens Agile Director: “Partnering with GlobalDots enhances our CDN Director by combining advanced technology with expert support. This collaboration offers our clients unmatched control, reliability, and cost-efficiency, making content delivery seamless and secure.”
For over 20 years, GlobalDots has been active as an integrator and optimizer in the CDN industry, fostering close relationships with all Tier 1 CDN providers. Now, in 2024, together with our trusted partner, Agile Content, they are proud to announce the launch of the intelligent video multi-CDN load balancer. The solution will combine direct network metrics, the real-time log data from the CDN’s together with the QoE intelligence from the end-users to make optimized decisions in seconds.
With the intelligence from Agile Content, the networks of the largest CDN providers in the world, and GlobalDots’ extensive experience in multi-CDN environments, we have developed a high-value technology that helps customers reduce their CDN costs while improving both performance and uptime. Everything is automated, allowing clients’ engineers to focus on future planning instead of maintaining the status quo.
