 Our Bandwidth Management Policy Engine is what separates us from the competition. Successful online video publishing takes much more then just reliably delivering video streams to front end users. Since bandwidth can be one of your biggest expenses it's important to manage and consume it correctly. The StartStream Bandwidth Management System allows you to control the users entire viewing experience and bandwidth expenditures. Each stream is managed and capped dynamically at an optimized level to ensure maximum user satisfaction for a given bandwidth budget. This way you can get the biggest return on your bandwidth investments. With the StartStream Bandwidth Management Engine you can learn your bandwidth patterns exactly, down to the smallest detail, and fine-tune your polices to optimize business objectives and bandwidth expenses. Always Stream at Peak LevelsOf course, the most important thing is satisfying your users. Your biggest focus should be on providing them with the highest stream speeds. To do this, you need to always stream at peak levels. Traffic on ISP Levels are traded based on monthly peaks (consumption per second) and not on actual data transfers. This means that there is no difference streaming in 500Mbps (mega bits per second) for one hour a day or streaming at the same speed level 24 hours a day. You'll hit the same peak consumption and are going to pay the same amount in both cases. It's always in your best interest to stream in the highest bandwidth peak level regardless of when the peak hours occur on your site. StartStream Dynamic capping technology can help you a achieve an optimal bandwidth management result in real-time. Aggressive capping should be enforced during peak hours so you don't go over your bandwidth budgets. Capping can be dynamically released during off-peak hours to guarantee user delivery at high stream speeds without increasing your bottom line costs. You can also use bandwidth policies for:
