Hive Video Optimization improve the viewing experience, using predictive CDN pre-fetching technology with patented software-only, zero-configuration algorithms. Data are 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 pre-fetching technology

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

  • Scalable, with efficiency increasing in proportion to viewer growth

  • Unobtrusive, transparent 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 works

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

  • Viewers on the same network share, between each other, the video stream rather than downloading individual streams, significantly reducing Internet ingress traffic

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

  • The customer can choose to have their viewers benefit from Hive Streaming eCDN via modern web browsers (no additional software installation needed) or install the Hive Agent to support more advanced use cases, including support for legacy web browsers and site-specific requirements.

  • Silent Testing is supported with both options the Hive Plugin or the Hive Agent.

  • Hive-supported devices (Hive Plugin or Hive Agent) connect to hosted cloud-based web services for authentication, connection setup & reporting

Browser-based video distribution with HIVE Plugin

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

  • No installation required, get started quickly

  • Support for live and VOD

  • Works with all modern HTML5 browsers

  • Works in combination with the Hive Agent (see section below)

  • Supports low latency

  • Is 100% compatiable with mobile devices

  • Is suitable for any “Modern Workplace” environment

  • WebRTC uses SRTP for encryption and we add AES 256 GCM which is a highly desired benefit in Wifi networks

Hive Agent

The Hive Agent, an optional installed software, enables more advanced use cases, including features such as fast peer discovery, persistent logs, custom network configurations and support for non-WebRTC compliant browsers.  

  • Compatible to be deployed via a standard software deployment tools like SCCM or Intune

  • Runs unobtrusively in the background, consuming only minimum CPU resources

  • The Hive Agent uses WebRTC as transportation protocol making it compatible to work together with the Hive Plugin giving the customer the possibility to work with a mix deployment but keeping peering unified.

  • Can however support non-WebRTC compliant browsers (Requirement: Installed Hive Agent, it does not work with the Hive Plugin)

  • Resolving mDNS addresses into IPv4 to always enabling site matching and peering between subnets

  • The Agent is a java application and all Java libraries needed are included already in the installer and therefore no JRE / Java environments will be needed.
