GlobalDots Streaming Platform.
Simplified Video Processing.
GlobalDots accelerates traffic from an end user to an origin server by using DNS to redirect traffic across a Virtual Network. GlobalDots' Virtual Network intelligently analyzes the Internet Backbone to find the fastest routes between any two endpoints, avoiding congestion and overcoming the performance problems caused by least cost routing. In the process, it delivers 20x better data transfer performance. Our solution is deployed across public clouds and delivered “as-a-Service,” so there is no hardware or caching to configure.
Our platform carries content along a virtual network of TCRs, so it looks to the rest of the network like any other network proxy - such as a load balancer, SSL offload or CDN cache. The end user connects to a TCR, which then routes that traffic along the virtual network to the origin server. Because TCRs act as network proxies, the connection request that reaches the origin server will have the IP address of a local TCR, referred to as a “TCR Out”.
Widely dispersed content providers need secure access to their infrastructure.
GlobalDots provides cloud-based secure network:
Connect all sites to GlobalDots Cloud with our sockets • Cloud-based Full Mesh and Mobile VPN access • Secure Internet Access for all sites and users
The GlobalDots Virtual Network uses Proxy Protocol to give the load balancer at the origin connection information from the end user requesting a connection to the origin server. The load balancer then adds connection information to the X-Forwarded-For headers of each HTTP request such as the source IP address, destination IP address, and port numbers.
Our solution complements CDNs in several ways
Multi-CDN solution offers much more advantages.
Reasons for a Multi-CDN
100% uptime - always best performance secured!
No single CDN can realistically provide 100% availability. However, by intelligently balancing content delivery among multiple CDNs, availability can approach 100%.
When to use Multi- or Hybrid CDN strategies
The problem of content delivery is not a new one. There just isn’t enough bandwidth today to handle all the traffic, especially during big releases and popular live streaming events. The only way to scale with the demand is to decentralize the model and remove the bottlenecks.
WebRTC unlocked that distributed promise with ubiquitous, secured P2P technology. Now we can finally use this because the web has embraced open standards with security and performance as WebRTC became part of HTML5.
P2P streaming works by creating a mesh network consisting of users who are watching the same content and coordinating these users so that they send video segments to each other instead of everyone always fetching the segments from an edge server.
Specifically, GlobalDots espouses a hybrid solution where a broadcaster uses our solution in combination with one or more HTTP-based CDNs -- i.e., don't rip out your existing CDN infrastructure, just add them as another option in your multi-CDN portfolio. The integration point is via one line of JavaScript which implements a hybrid switcher -- once GlobalDots is integrated, users can fetch segments from either an edge server or from their peer group, whichever channel performs better at that given moment in time.
As more chunk requests are handled by the peer group, the broadcaster sees dramatic reductions in server load and, consequently, higher stream quality (faster load times, less buffering, longer viewing sessions).
GlobalDots' Elastic Cloud Optimization platform elegantly addresses cloud cost and management challenges with the reliable and efficient use of AWS’ Spot Market to reduce EC2 costs by 60% - 80% compared to On Demand Instance pricing -- while still delivering 100% availability for high demand and persistent applications.
Amazon created the Spot Market to optimize their data center utilization by leveraging their spare capacity. However, if a customer pays for higher priced On-Demand or Reserved Instances, Amazon gives the user 2 minutes notice and takes Instance out of the Spot Market and provides it to the higher paying customer.
Our platform uses predictive algorithm technology to identify and terminate Spot Instances that are about to be “interrupted” by AWS. Then, it automatically and transparently transitions applications to an “available” Spot Instance with absolutely no downtime regardless of application type or demand requirements.
EC2 Spot Instances can be used without GlobalDots platform, but there’s a catch - the Spot Instances won’t necessarily be available when you need or want to use them. Managing and strategizing around interruptible Spot Instances without GlobalDots can be challenging, not to mention unsuitable for AWS customers running high demand, persistent applications that must deliver stable online end user experiences.
Every AWS customer can benefit from GlobalDots Elastic Cloud optimization platform.
GlobalDots provides smarter, less expensive, and better traffic allocation across public & private clouds. GlobalDots' MLB brings together application load balancing, traffic engineering, security and deep analytics capabilities.
MLB can be deployed on any hardware, from on-premise to AWS and Azure, sensitive data and information is behind your firewall, while its management is completely SaaS controlled. No monitoring or maintenance is required.
The MLB automatically scales its request handling capacity in response to incoming application traffic.
If you are currently utilizing a CDN, need to lower latency of dynamic content to the end user, lower the cost of outbound traffic from AWS, or integrate your CDN with your cloud provider, GlobalDots wants to address three major problems in this Hybrid CDN scenario:
How to optimize dynamic content delivery • How to lower transit costs • How to bridge the integration gap between AWS and a CDN
GlobalDots enables you to achieve a level of predictable performance for the delivery of dynamic content, similar to what you can expect when delivering static content through a CDN. GlobalDots is able to optimize the internet traffic in the dynamic content domain directly to the end user.
This is accomplished by routing traffic through the lowest latency route - the best possible path with latency as the parameter. Simultaneously, GlobalDots is able to optimize the static content to the CDN, which could mean a lower latency connection to your CDN.
Moving traffic around the CDN can have significant savings on transit costs. Coupled with a solution that will lower latency and cost, such as GlobalDots, will have a significant positive impact on business.
Video analytics is an essential part of building a successful video streaming service.
The biggest problems if you want to build a video streaming backbone are the facts that you have to choose several vendors, optimize load balancing, optimize video player and so on. Enterprises are usually faced with situations in which they don't know how to connect various elements into one network.
GlobalDots helps you solve these problems instantly -- with out turnkey solution you can bring your video backbone online fast & efficiently. Our entire solution, or some parts of it (if you choose only them), are placed under one bill for your convenience, so you can easily track your expenses.

• Eliminates branch firewalls, UTMs, WAN optimization, URL filtering
• Direct Internet Access, eliminates backhauling of Internet traffic
MOBILE AND CLOUD SECURE
NETWORK INTEGRATION
• Connects mobile users and Cloud resource to the enterprise WAN
• Reduce point solutions and split policies
SUPPORT SECURITY
REQUIREMENTS
CDNs cache unencrypted static content in many locations, breaking the chain of custody for security conscious SaaS providers and opening up potential security vulnerabilities.
MEET STRINGENT
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
Replacing content across a global network of CDN caches may conflict with financial regulations, EU data residency laws and Chinese Internet Content Provider licenses.
ACCELERATE DYNAMIC OR
UNCHANGEABLE CONTENT
GlobalDots does not require the replication or synchronization of data at the edge to PoPs. Instead, we accelerate the data to the end-user directly from origin server.
PERFORMANCE
Delivering assets on several CDNs at one time will promote the best possible performance which means decrease video buffering, speed startup and will help to increase your user base.
CONTROL
Instead of depending on one, two or three CDNs and having the products tied to one CDN, take over the control with Global Traffic Management with an automated routing agent, based on the performance data collected daily from approx. 900 million users.
COST OPTIMIZATION
The more CDNs you have, the easier is to reduce costs and you can even setup the load balancing configuration. With GlobalDots you can do this based on costs (or monthly existing commits), instead of pure performance parameters. You will pay for the decisions they made based on your chosen balancing strategy.
