Agile Content, a leading provider of Internet television and video solutions, has deployed its Agile CDN Director solution at Telenor Sweden, one of the largest mobile phone, television, and broadband service operators in the country. This new product adoption continues a decade-long partnership to drive efficiencies and better manage utilization of Agile Content subsidiary Edgeware's content delivery network.
Edgeware's CDN architecture has long been divided into a session control layer and a delivery layer. Agile Content's new CDN Director product is an evolution of the previous one and introduces new advanced features, such as real-time cache or network switching and an integrated real-time server quality of experience monitoring function.
By implementing Agile CDN Director, Telenor Sweden can improve the efficiency of the delivery of its next-generation television services. It allows the organization to combine its CDN with the CDN of its sister company Telenor Norway. Telenor Sweden can easily use the resources of both networks and in case of loss of a site, there will be a system of redistribution between different countries.
Telenor Sweden can now optimize the peak performance capacity of its own CDN and seamlessly offload streaming capacity, as well as automatically scale its services using available capacity on Telenor Norway's networks, or on a public network when necessary. This means that whatever the demands of either CDN, customers will never experience any interruption to their services.
Johan Bolin, Chief Emerging Business Officer, Agile Content
Telenor Sweden has long been a customer of ours at Agile Content, growing significantly with their Edgeware CDN in place and it’s great to see that partnership continue with this latest roll out of Agile CDN Director to manage an increasingly complicated CDN landscape with integrated multi-CDNs. The team at Telenor has quickly seen a long list of benefits available to them – some that even we didn’t know the extent of before they deployed it. So, we’re looking forward to bringing these back to the team here at Agile Content and providing many more customers the same cost efficiencies, operational benefits and security measures.
Marielle Lind, Technical Architect, TV Backend Systems, Telenor Sweden
As the person responsible for Telenor Sweden’s CDN and making sure our customers get the quality of experience they expect on their devices, I have a long list of requirements that I want from my network, some of which we just couldn’t do. But with the Agile CDN Director now in place, suddenly so much more is possible. So far, I haven’t found anything that’s impossible.
