Things Viblast ePDN is not:
Viblast ePDN is not an encoding solution, not a CDN, not an OVP, not a load-balancing solution, not a streaming server and NOT Viblast bPDN.
Things Viblast ePDN is:
Viblast ePDN is a streaming solution for enterprises which need to stream video content to their employees. It adds a distributed P2P layer to your existing network infrastructure and allows your viewers to share resources among each other.
What is the difference between Viblast bPDN and Viblast ePDN?
In the broadcasters case (Viblast bPDN) the topology of the network cannot be known. For Viblast ePDN to work as designed, the service must be configured with information about the topology of the network which is impossible in the broadcasters’ case. Thus, Viblast ePDN can optimise the corporate network up to 98%.
What are the benefits of using Viblast ePDN compared to other similar solutions?
It decentralizes the central load of the enterprise network while saving the complexity of changing the network infrastructure. It offers better network performance, fast implementation and requires no plugins, no third-party software and zero hardware.
What kind of technical support do you offer?
Can I use Viblast ePDN instead of Multicast?
Yes. Viblast ePDN offers a great alternative to multicast - peer-assisted video delivery. Thus, you are able to work with common streaming technologies stack without network bottleneck issues.
Do I need to replace or change my existing streaming solution/enterprise content delivery network (eCDN) to use Viblast EPDN?
No. Viblast ePDN integrates with and extends the capabilities of your existing infrastructure.
Do my employees need to install any third-party software or plugins?
No. Viblast ePDN is invisible to the end-user. Thanks to WebRTC, peer connections are established on a browser level, which removes the need for a plugin.
Does it matter what player I am using?
Yes. Viblast ePDN works with players utilizing the HTML5 video tag (such as Viblast Player or video.js for which we offer full support). Support for other players can be commissioned.
Can I use Viblast ePDN as a cloud service as well as on premises?
Yes. Both integrations are available - on premises and as a cloud service.
Do you support VOD?
Yes, for HLS and MPEG-DASH content. Some concurrency in viewing is still needed for optimization to occur. Viblast ePDN's biggest strength, though, lies in live streaming, where you can avail of the technology's full set of benefits.

Yes. It is 100% secure, doesn’t expose end-users’ devices to any additional malware/virus risk and content never leaves the corporate network.
What kind of encryption support do you offer?
DRM for DASH streams and AES-128 for HLS streams.
Does Viblast ePDN work inside the browser’s safety restrictions?
Yes. Viblast ePDN is a plugin free WebRTC solution that can never get access to employee work stations and data.
Does the corporate network remain available?
Yes. Viblast ePDN efficiently uses existing resources (workstation interconnectivity) to boost your network performance.
How will Viblast ePDN improve my overall network performance?
The network offload is 98% in a group of 100+ viewers.
Do you offer statistics and analytics?
Yes. The solution visualizes data about viewers and their QoE in real-time as well as historical data.
