Giraffic is based on an advanced, patented technology which turns your end users into valuable resources through the enrichment of their own user experience. The core of the solution is a new streaming technology that can retrieve data from multiple sources simultaneously in random order, without latency, at a fraction the cost of existing content delivery solutions.
Giraffic is a robust fully distributed cloud, leveraging the universal presence of end-users, together with sophisticated data and streaming management algorithms.
Peer-to-Peer technologies offer unmatched inherent scalability and cost efficiency, and is a proven technology for effectively and securely delivering rich media over the Internet.
Giraffic's technology extends basic P2P capabilities by overcoming the major limitations in previous solutions:
- Higher Quality Streaming: Significantly improves streaming reliability and end user experience, even compared to carrier class CDNs (reduces re-buffering pauses by 50-70%), hence reducing churn and increasing revenues from online video. Giraffic’s Asynchronous multi-source streaming is optimized for High Definition Video, overcoming most of the bottlenecks and reliability issues around HD delivery.
- Optimized for the New Media Age: It enables real-time, on demand, streaming from end-users in the cloud from the first or second view, and not just for very popular content.
- Infinite Scalability: It manages distributed storage of data over the fully distributed Giraffic end-user cloud, so that it is effectively unlimited in regard to the number of content items or quantity of storage space. And, it is secure and resource efficient, so that the impact on the end-user's bandwidth or storage space is negligible.
Main Features :
- FEC Based Encoding - Redundancy and High Availability are integrated into the data itself, eliminating reliance on replication/caching of content on the network.
- Pro-Active Seeding - Pro-actively pre-pupulates encoded and resilient content data in the cloud, and enables delivery from end-user peers of niche, "long-tail" content, not just the popular stuff.
- Asynchronous Coded Multi-Source Streaming - breaktrough streaming technology which can obtain data in random order from dozens and hundreds of sources simultaneously and assemble media on-the-fly in asynchronous order.
- Automatic Data Healing - Provisioning of Content and Self-Healing of data across the network. As end-user computers or media devices go offline, Giraffic automatically monitors the network and creates more sources, on the fly, for every required fragment of content.
- Automatic Adaptation to Extremely Popular Content - when a content item becomes popular, Giraffic's management system automatically caches it on a large number of users' devices making it immediately available to new users.
- Cross-Platform and Very Low Footprint - installable on PCs, set-top-boxes and mobile devices (on our roadmap).
- Considerate and non-disruptive within a user's environment. Giraffic consumes resources mainly when a user's PC or device is idle, and actually improves end-user's Internet streaming speed.
- Comprehensive Management, Control and Reporting - Enabling a real-time view of network performance as well as aggregate statistics on user consumption behavior, network efficiency, content distribution, cost effectiveness and more.
- Seamless Integration - with customer's website player, origin servers or CDN and Online Video Management Platform, without change to customer's existing environment.
