Why You Should Use a CDN for Video
The rapid growth in internet video consumption presents unique challenges, including latency sensitivity, increased costs with higher quality videos, and global audiences. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) have become instrumental in addressing these issues by keeping cached data at various points-of-presence worldwide, reducing latency and costs. CDN usage is particularly crucial for high-volume video services like Netflix. Mux Video has integrated multiple top-tier CDNs to ensure optimal performance and cost-effectiveness for its users.
