Video Caching Best Practices (February)
Friday, February 28, 2020 at 10:00am (PT)
Caching is a critical element of the streaming video delivery infrastructure. By storing objects as close to the viewer as possible, you can reduce round-trip times, cut bandwidth costs, and create a more efficient delivery chain. But did you know that not all caches are created equal? By connecting your caching infrastructure to the Open Caching Network, you can optimize your video delivery by interconnecting with other nodes and providers. In this webinar, we’ll explore the architecture of Open Caching, how the caching nodes are built, optimizing different caching solutions, connecting a cache to the Open Caching Network, and how bettering your cache performance and interoperability can improve your overall viewer experience.
