Scalable HLS Streaming Solution with DVR at Global CDN Reach

As we recently shared in the Red5 + CacheFly capabilities overview study, this solution combines low-latency streaming with DVR-style playback, failover reliability, and worldwide CDN distribution, extending reach to devices beyond WebRTC. With minimal configuration, developers can transform live streams into on-demand assets while ensuring high-quality performance anywhere in the world. The combined solution and new features are now available in Red5 Cloud to select customers, and is currently being used by a major pro tennis championship.

Developers, startups, and enterprises that need to reach the widest range of devices can benefit from using HLS, since it is the industry standard and well supported across platforms. For applications where real-time performance is not critical, low-latency HLS delivered through CacheFly’s global CDN provides a reliable way to scale video delivery worldwide. This approach is especially useful when broad compatibility and distribution matter more than achieving sub-250 ms latency.
