Cloud for OTT and broadcast streaming
Media and OTT
Where should the origin run? In a named AWS region, chosen for the audience and for any rule on where content may sit. CloudFront carries the internet-facing bytes. Where rights or sovereignty require content to stay on a defined local path, a private cache path is added and documented before cutover.
Live events and on-demand libraries load systems differently. A live match or a premiere produces a sudden, concentrated spike; a catalogue produces steady demand with long tails. We size each on its own numbers, with an autoscaling origin and a cache that does not collapse when a popular segment is requested at once.
The Rabbithole engagement shows 500K+ peak concurrent viewers across adaptive HLS, DASH and CMAF, multi-DRM with Widevine, PlayReady and FairPlay, and a CDN cost roughly 40 percent below list pricing. That 40 percent is an upper bound for that engagement, not a typical saving and not a promise for your bill.
Premium content is protected with DRM and geo-blocking set per title and per rights holder. Viewer data is classed by category, and the region for each class is written down. The frameworks that apply to viewer data are for your counsel to confirm, as applicable in your jurisdiction. We do not publish internet latency figures; we measure them on your delivery path.
- Origin: named region, autoscaling, and cache behavior checked before every live event.
- Delivery: CloudFront for internet bytes. The CDN saving is a range, not a quote.
- Rights: DRM and geo-blocking configured per title and per rights holder.
- What we have not shown: latency figures or a national-audience record beyond the case above.
The industry map row for this sector
| Industry | Architecture pattern | Data-location stance | Published case study |
|---|---|---|---|
| Media and OTT | Named-region origin, CloudFront, BlessBit, private cache where rights require | Internet delivery on CloudFront; local path where content must stay | Live OTT at national scale (Rabbithole) |
Case studies name their clients. For OTT, the client is Rabbithole, with BlessBit as TiCON's engine rather than a client brand.
Frequently asked questions
Can you handle live-event peaks?
Yes, with an autoscaling origin, a CDN in front and a cache tested before the event. The Rabbithole case reports 500K+ concurrent viewers at peak. Latency and concurrency guarantees are not published on this page.
Do you name the OTT platforms you have worked with?
Yes. Rabbithole is named on its case study. BlessBit is TiCON's own engine, not a client brand.
How is a CDN saving estimated?
From the bandwidth profile of your own traffic against list pricing. The Rabbithole figure of about 40 percent is an upper bound from one engagement. We do not apply it to other CDN products as if they were the same.
Is my content and viewer data protected?
Premium content uses DRM and geo-blocking per rights holder. Viewer data is classed, and each class's region is written down before cutover. Your counsel confirms the rules that apply, as applicable in your jurisdiction.
