Alvalinks Launches First Video-Aware Network Observability Suite
Alvalinks has launched a live IP video network observability suite, which proactively analyzes the health of the network. Cloudrider delivers a single pane of glass to simplify and automate troubleshooting for live video delivery over the Internet, drastically reducing time to resolution and ensuring operational efficiency.
Cloudrider is the first true network observability SAAS platform designed for media applications. Unlike monitoring solutions that only identify the outcome, Cloudrider is able to pinpoint the root cause of outages and errors in a video stream. It gathers real time stats, IP flows, and toolsets to evaluate the broadcast and media network performance.
By comparing packets and bitrate both at source and delivery, Cloudrider is able to alert video providers of any packet loss. It provides accurate network intelligence, including information on jitter, latency, and minimum optimal buffer for delivery.
Customers include technology vendors and service providers, using Alvalinks to monitor networks for their own customers, as well as multiple large broadcasters worldwide.
