Deliver exceptional on-demand video experiences

Whether you’re working with one of Fastly’s online video platform (OVP) partners, bringing your video-on-demand delivery in house, looking to improve your existing streaming delivery service or looking to go multi-CDN, the right partner can help you deliver the high quality-of-experience (QoE) viewers demand.

Rapidly deliver high quality video experiences

Fastly’s modern video CDN is designed to cache and rapidly deliver both frequently requested and long-tail, on-demand videos. With higher cache hit rates, we significantly reduce load on your origin while accelerating time to first frame (TTFF) globally.

Boost performance and scale

Our network architecture with hyper-connected, high-capacity POPs and lightning-fast purging with Instant Purge™, ensures more content remains cached, improving performance, scale and user experience. Quickly scale for traffic spikes without interruption.

Protect your content

Fastly protects your video content with Edge authorization tokens, geofencing, media encryption, and integrating with multi-DRM providers for content protection. Our fully configurable platform allows you to set rules to detect when VPNs and proxies are being used to bypass content protection.

Get real-time visibility

With real-time streaming logs, you can monitor infrastructure performance. Paired with granular controls and immediate config changes, you can troubleshoot issues before they substantially impact viewers.

Features

Reduce origin traffic and costs

Fastly’s add-on Media Shield optimizes multi-CDN deployments while reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) of video streaming by significantly reducing your origin traffic and boosting performance.

Streamline content packaging

Fastly’s On-the-Fly Packager (OTFP) add-on helps organizations cut costs associated with duplicating content for different packaging HTTP streaming protocols (e.g HLS and DASH). OTFP is also feature rich with support for DRM partner integrations, content pre-conditioning for ad insertion, and trickplay support.

Play ads and track performance

Fastly supports Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) workflows through several features that provide more granular control over how your video is packaged. Timed metadata injection lets you embed metadata that signals a player to play ads and track performance or engagement at specific points in the video timeline.

Tailor content to different device types

Device detection allows you to write logic to tailor content for a variety of device types, improving delivery quality and user experience. This provides the ability for you to detect a handset, tablet, and more in order to deliver the correct mobile version of your content.
