StreamZilla is a streaming media hosting and content delivery service provider (CDN) in Europe.

Overview

StreamZilla offers streaming media and media file hosting and delivery services to business customers. The service is e-commerce oriented: instead of using sales teams, StreamZilla offers a detailed website with online configuration and ordering forms for all its content delivery services. StreamZilla won the Streaming Media Magazine Readers' Choice award for best European Content Delivery Network 2008.

In 2008, over 2 billion videos were distributed to viewers all over the world [1].

Customers are video portals, national or European broadcasters, football clubs, publishers, enterprises and video production companies.

Technologies

StreamZilla is powered by a European wide 2Tb/s network with +500Gbit/s connections to all the major internet exchanges and global carriers.

These servers are powered by the XL Media Server 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 millions of streams, hundreds of media servers, hundreds of customers and millions views per day with a small staff.
