STREAMING & VIDEO DELIVERY
Sustainable, Scalable Streaming, Anywhere
Varnish Enterprise optimizes content delivery at every layer, from how videos are stored and cached to how they are delivered to the viewer. With record breaking throughput and power utilization, rest assured that you can support your live streaming, VOD and OTT needs of today and tomorrow on existing or new infrastructure.
Software for Streaming Platforms
A New Approach That Doesn't Penalize You for Growth
Varnish Enterprise helps streaming services and broadcasters break down the barriers to long-term streaming growth and ROI.
It’s caching software that already meets future throughput and latency needs.
It offloads traffic to minimize egress and maximize hardware efficiency.
It's flexible, customizable and runs on off-the-shelf hardware, or any other platform.
Sustainable Streaming
Optimize ROI and Support High Quality, High Load Use Cases
Varnish Enterprise content delivery software streams high-quality, stable video while protecting origins from traffic load.
With world-leading per server throughput, Varnish handles more concurrent streams than any other software, while sub-millisecond cache responses accelerate time-to-first-frame.
It's a single platform for live, OTT and VOD, with load balancing, routing, monitoring and storage capabilities, built-in to a web-based UI.
Benefits
Some of the reasons streaming services, broadcasters and telcos rely on Varnish Enterprise for video.
Sustainable Scale
Record breaking throughput and power utilization enable you to extract every bit of value from hardware and resources.
Reach Growth Goals
Own the capacity, bandwidth and speed for emerging video use cases like 4K, IP TV, UHD and VR.
Deploy Anywhere
Deploy edge PoPs anywhere, on bare metal, cloud, container, VM, or use existing network resources.
Do More with Less
Shrink egress costs, consolidate infrastructure and enjoy more predictable margins.
"Varnish scales really well, and we get a lot of capacity for a comparatively small amount of money."

Manager TV Service Delivery, Tele2
Origin Offload
Stability at Scale
Many of the world’s largest streaming services use Varnish Enterprise behind multiple CDNs to maximize cache hits, protect origin servers and increase cache efficiency.
Varnish acts as a single entry point for every public CDN in use, offloading traffic and synchronizing PoPs.
If a CDN goes down, Varnish shields the origin from traffic, continues delivering video and offers automatic failover for uninterrupted viewing.
Reduce CAPEX
Support Peak Loads with Less Hardware
Varnish software gets the most out of infrastructure to deliver high-quality video and support peak loads from a smaller footprint.
- More requests per second
- Greater network utilization
- Higher cache hit rates
- Increased concurrent streams
It’s a cost-conscious way to reach strategic streaming goals using existing network investments.
Features

More Efficient VOD
High-Performance Disk Caching
Varnish Enterprise’s storage caching capabilities enable persistence and accelerated access to vast amounts of data, including VOD libraries, databases and metadata.
Speed up access to objects while efficiently utilizing resources to minimize I/O and offload origin workloads.
The result? Maximum performance and efficiency, cutting costs while delivering high QoE services.
Optimize for Every Viewer
A Programmable Edge, Built In
The edge is essential for flawless video.
Developers love using the built-in Varnish logic engine to control and optimize video delivery from origin to edge.
Complete control and real-time logic execution. With custom traffic routing, device optimization and geo-location, every user gets an excellent streaming experience.
"Varnish has provided tremendous performance and scalability value for our video infrastructure."

Success Stories
Zype
Zype helps to connect the world’s streaming video and viewers and uses Varnish Enterprise as a frontend cache for performance and efficiency and as a reverse proxy to replace AWS Gateway, AWS Lambda and AWS CloudWatch.
Telia
Given the acquisition of TV4, MTV and CMore, Telia Company needed to re-evaluate current CDN strategy and decided to build their “next generation” CDN together with Varnish as a key partner.
Tele2
Tele2 wanted to offer seamless, reliable, high-performance OTT (live and VoD) video streaming. They used Varnish to build their own Private CDN with which to serve and control content.
