The private fiber connection ensures better
content delivery by plugging origin servers into Fastly's edge
cloud network
Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY), provider of a global edge cloud
platform, today announced Origin Connect, a direct private network
connection between an organization’s origin server and a Fastly
Shield point of presence (POP). Ideal for companies moving more
than one gigabyte of data, such as media, video, and streaming
companies, Origin Connect is an effective way to lower transit
costs, reduce engineering complexity, and improve reliability for
high-volume streaming content.
The ability to instantly stream content has changed the way
music, TV series, and movies are made and consumed. Video or music
that lags or constantly buffers makes for disappointing user
experiences, so streaming services need reliable delivery
connections that keep up with the increasingly data-heavy demands
of streaming without having to depend on congested, or expensive,
transit.
Using Origin Connect is akin to plugging directly into an outlet
instead of connecting to an extension cord first. Companies will
benefit from the direct connection necessary to reduce transit
costs as well as the risks of content lag associated with any
additional path content travels to get from initial client request
to an origin server, and all the way back to the end user. The
benefits of using Origin Connect include:
- Reliability: A direct, private peering connection
increases the predictability of traffic sent across dedicated
bandwidth and reduces the number of hops in a network path. As a
result, there are fewer providers involved in getting traffic from
the organization’s servers to Fastly’s network and back again.
- Reduced transit costs: Customers using Origin Connect
will no longer pay egress costs for outbound traffic from their
origin server since they are shipping that traffic over a private
connection directly to Fastly.
- Availability: Origin Connect improves the availability
of content and streaming services by reducing the risks of failed
origin requests, whether from network congestion or from shared
public infrastructure between upstream providers.
- Performance: Reduced latency and more consistent and
predictable performance due to the lack of in-between transit and
upstream providers and a dedicated fiber interconnect.
“Helping our customers meet their end users’ expectations is our
top priority, and today, the media industry is subject to some of
the strongest scrutiny when it comes to user experience and content
delivery,” said Dana Wolf, senior vice president of product and
marketing at Fastly. “But making good on those expectations has
typically come at a high price with other solutions. Our Origin
Connect offering is a win-win for both our customers who will
reduce egress costs of delivering this content, and for their
viewers who will enjoy a more reliable streaming experience. We’re
excited to continue to do our part in contributing to the media
community’s ongoing focus on innovation.”
Fastly’s Origin Connect follows on the heels of the expanding
adoption of its edge offerings and services across leading European
media and entertainment brands.
