Technologies

StreamZilla is powered by a European wide 175+Gbit/s network with connections to all the major internet exchanges and global carriers.

StreamZilla uses multiple datacenters to host its media delivery servers.

These servers are powered by the XL media framework, that enables simultaneous operation of all popular media services including Flash Media Server, Windows Media Services, QuickTime Streaming Server, Wowza Media Server, Icecast, Internet Information Server and Apache without performance loss.

The many media servers are managed by a central Content Delivery Management application called VDO-X. This software allows StreamZilla to handle hundreds of media servers, hundreds of customers and millions views per day with a very small staff.
