FAQs
How does Qumu help reduce enterprise video bandwidth costs?
Qumu reduces enterprise video bandwidth costs through intelligent video delivery and network optimisation:
- Enterprise CDN (eCDN)
Qumu caches and distributes video inside the corporate network, so employees stream from local peers or edge nodes instead of repeatedly pulling from the internet. This can reduce external bandwidth usage by 70–90%+ during large broadcasts. - Adaptive Bitrate Streaming
Qumu automatically adjusts video quality based on each user’s connection and device, preventing unnecessary high-bitrate streaming and reducing overall bandwidth consumption. - Intelligent Network Routing
Qumu monitors network conditions in real time and chooses the most efficient delivery path, minimising expensive public internet traffic. - Hybrid & On-Prem Deployment
Organisations can host video content behind the firewall, reducing cloud egress fees and external bandwidth costs. - Efficient Transcoding & Caching
