What does it do?

umbrellaCDN^TM allows content providers to create CDN selection rules based on parameters such as:

• End-user geolocation
• End-user Internet Service Provider (ISP)
• Group of content (e.g., live/VOD, pay/free, premium/trailer…)
• Time of day
• Type of network
• Instantaneous Quality of service

Any combination of these parameters can be used to create a rule that will perfectly fit any particular need. Moreover, Broadpeak has developed the CDN Diversity^TM feature that allows to make use of the capacities of several CDNs at the same time. This brings an unparalleled level of quality and provides built-in fail-over capacity.
