Hive Streaming Integration

The Hive Streaming integration is available to improve connectivity in restrictive environments, such as company offices with Cisco VPNs. It uses eCDN technology to improve the quality of Live Streaming.

eCDN
Enterprise Content Delivery Network is a content delivery network that leverages private infrastructure to deliver content. Like with commercial CDNs, an eCDN’s purpose is to distribute content as close to the end-user as possible. An eCDN provides organizations with more control and visibility of their content delivery as proxy and cache servers can be located within their own LAN or WAN, or within a dedicated data center or cloud instance.
