With Hive Streaming video distribution, every employee can enjoy secure, high quality streaming video without sacrificing video quality or performance of the enterprise network.

Guarantee stable, high

Hive Video Optimization allows for uninterrupted viewing using predictive CDN pre-fetching technology with patented software-only, zero-configuration algorithms. All data is distributed via P2P, balancing bandwidth load across all connected employee computers, and maximizing reach and quality of live and on-demand video for the entire organization.

  • Guarantees stable, high-quality video through network offload, extended buffer & CDN prefetchingpre-fetching technology

  • Self-learning algorithms rely on existing network capacity without requiring additional capital investment

  • Infinitely scalable, the more viewers the more efficiency with efficiency increasing in proportion to viewer growth

  • Unobtrusive, invisible to the end-user

  • Real-time, interactive reporting

  • Pure software-based solution deployed via standard deployment methods, no hardware needed

  • Integrated with leading enterprise video streaming platforms


How

It

it Works

  • When viewers users begin viewing video, HIVE Hive technology automatically detects the optimal path to the video content

  • Viewers on the same network share a single video stream rather than consuming individual streams, significantly reducing Internet egress traffic

  • Stream content is shared on the internal network among viewers via a dynamic, self-learning P2P mesh network

  • Viewers can benefit from Hive Streaming via modern web browsers (no additional software installation needed)

  • Installable HIVE Hive Agent may be deployed to support more advanced use cases, including support for legacy web browsers, site-specific configurations and Silent Testing

  • HIVEHive-supported endpoints (browser and Agent) connect to hosted cloud-based web services for authentication, connection setup & reporting


Browser-based video distribution with HIVE WebRTC

HIVE WebRTC is Hive Streaming‘s advanced browser-based video distribution technology.

  • No Installation required, get started quickly

  • Requires modern web browser supporting WebRTC Data Channels


Advanced agent-based video distribution with HIVE Agent

The HIVE Agent enables more advanced use cases, including support for non-WebRTC compliant browsers, HIVE Silent Testing, and custom network configurations.  

  • Deployable by an IT department via standard software deployment tools

  • Runs unobtrusively in the background, consuming minimum resources

  • Support for non-WebRTC compliant browsers, including Internet Explorer

  • Customize service behavior including bitrate limiting for bandwidth-limited sites or VPNs

  • With Silent Testing, simulate live video events without requiring user involvement, detecting problems before they occur
