streampool

Deliver a smooth video
experience to every screen

Streampool is the media delivery component of the Zapflex platform. It can work as an origin for video distribution, as a standalone content delivery system, or in conjunction with third-party content delivery network partners.

Most customers will leverage our integrated partnerships with global CDNs like Akamai, Fastly, and CDN77, but for those with their own network footprint, Streampool — designed and built in-house as a complete content delivery network for online video distribution — offers a fully managed alternative with flexible deployment options across Setplex-managed infrastructure, third-party hardware, or in conjunction with leading CDN providers.
