Monitoring is needed to perfect the OTT solution

That was a request from a U.S.-based OTT TV platform owner. Having a global audience and specializing in sports and entertainment programming, the client never stopped working on video delivery pipeline enhancements and territorial expansion. To help the company succeed in two areas at once, Oxagile took on developing an OTT platform monitoring solution capable of processing two types of statistics. What for?

Historical + real-time statistics: better infrastructure and effective monetization gained

Both types of the statistics allow for a well-rounded user behavior and distribution analysis to generate targeted recommendations and provide ads most relevant to the specific needs or interests.

Well-rounded gathering of stats for:

Trending or viral video effective monetization
Covering new territories
Quick analysis and adaptation of video quality
OTT platform infrastructure analysis
Getting insights on the critical nodes
Identifying and fixing performance issues

Architecture ready for millions of database records and an unlimited number of users

Quick processing, meaningful reporting

Visualization matters as a structured picture assists the client with making data-driven business decisions. What has been done in this field?

A report generation module to evaluate every business aspect and spot emerging trends for effective fund allocation
Intuitive dashboards showing the number and location of concurrent users, top-rated programs, quality of service metrics for multiple live streams, etc.
