Video streaming disaster recovery
This white paper explores disaster recovery (DR) for video streaming services and how DR helps OTT services stay online during outages.
The paper outlines DR options based on recovery speed and their business objectives including Cold DR (manual, slowest, affordable), Standby DR (automatic, faster), Warm DR (fastest for live streaming), and Active/Active DR (fastest, most expensive, handles traffic simultaneously). Additional considerations include geo-redundancy (distributing sites geographically), prioritizing channels by importance, and using automation to streamline failover.
The paper also describes how to choose the right DR solution using considerations such as Service level agreements (SLAs) for performance during disruptions (e.g., live vs. VOD), Maintaining performance (network resilience, scalability, quality), and Costs (implementing and maintaining DR).
