Servers.com, an IaaS hosting platform, will be showcasing its support for live streaming specialist and fellow IBC exhibitor Ceeblue in its hardware-level experimentation. The hands-on testing allows Ceeblue to fine-tune the performance of its platform’s multifunctional, independent nodes, resulting in high-density transcode and packaging efficiency.
Danny Burns, CTO of Ceeblue, said: “servers.com has essentially given us a lab. We can set up multiple bare-metal servers with different CPUs, memory configurations, even NIC setups, benchmark them under real-world loads, and iterate rapidly.”
While servers.com forms the core of Ceeblue’s bare-metal infrastructure, the Dutch company employs a multi-provider strategy, not just for redundancy, but to dynamically shift workloads based on regional performance, cost, or capacity.
“We’ve been in situations before where entire data centres have been flooded by natural catastrophes, but thanks to our load balancing and multiple-vendor approach, we’ve come out of these situations unscathed,” said Burns.
Servers.com says that its unified global account management can simplify procurement across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas.
