Overview

Velocix Open Caching empowers internet service providers (ISPs) to monetise over‑the‑top (OTT) video traffic by deploying an edge caching layer compliant with industry open‑caching standards. By leveraging the ISP’s own last‑mile network and integrating with content providers and CDNs, the solution enables improved streaming quality, lower start‑up latency and reduced rebuffering, while giving ISPs a new revenue stream. Built on Velocix’s hybrid‑cloud CDN architecture, it supports large‑scale, carrier‑grade delivery across on‑premises and cloud environments.

Features and Capabilities

• Standards Compliance: Supports open‑caching specifications, enabling interoperability between ISPs, CDNs and content providers.
• Hybrid Cloud / Carrier‑Grade Architecture: Suitable for on‑premises, private cloud or public cloud deployment with carrier‑scale reliability.
• Revenue‑Sharing / Flexible Licensing: Offers licensing or rev‑share models allowing ISPs to monetise OTT traffic and define payment terms with content providers.
• Edge Caching at Last‑Mile: Deploys high‑performance caching nodes deep in ISP networks, closer to end‑users, reducing latency, peering cost and rebuffering events.
• Request‑Routing & Controller Functions: Manages cache node selection (proximity, health, utilisation), content placement and lifecycle management.
• Integration with Existing CDN / OTT Infrastructure: ISPs can apply the open‑caching layer onto their existing CDN infrastructure, leveraging current investments.
• Improved Streaming Experience: Brings caching closer to users, reduces upstream traffic, supports higher bit‑rates, faster session start times and fewer rebuffer events.
