What customers say about RockCloud

Cambl Online Courses logo

Putting learners first is at the core of what Cambl does. RockCloud helps us deliver the best possible experience: their global CDN made live classes noticeably faster between our tutors and students all over the world.

Competitive pricing and a strong private caching layer cut our egress volume, and our delivery cost dropped by 60% after moving to RockCloud.

Staying at the front of esports and gaming means working with partners who are specialists, not generalists.

In a business as competitive as online poker we need the most capable partner available. RockCloud absorbed a 500 Gbps+ DDoS attack outright on the day we onboarded. Without them our platform simply would not stay up.

Accelerate your video workflow

VOD workflow

Upload your pre-recorded video to RockCloud storage and make it your origin. Create multi-bitrate renditions through API-driven transcoding and deliver them over the CDN in the formats you choose

Live stream processing

Send us your live stream over standard protocols (RTMP, RTSP, HLS, MPEG-DASH, MPEG-TS) and we will repackage and transcode it into multi-bitrate profiles tuned for the viewer experience

Frequently asked questions

Years of running this business have taught us that a fixed price list fits nobody well, and video streaming least of all — every customer arrives with different requirements. Describe your use case and we will send you a quote built around it.

We offer a full range of features to control access to your content in any scenario you can think of: geo and IP allow/block lists, hotlink protection (domain locking), secure tokens, and custom multi-DRM integration using PlayReady and Widevine (MPEG-DASH) and FairPlay (HLS) keys. We also built our own proprietary DDoS protection, which mitigates external attacks within 10 seconds.

Absolutely. Once you upload your files to our CDN storage it becomes your origin. Your content is then delivered worldwide in the most efficient way possible while origin fetches drop sharply. The first 50 GB is on us.

Yes. We work with a specialist player team to strengthen playback on your front end. It ships with broad audience analytics: concurrent viewers, unique users, geography, device breakdown, engagement rate and more.

Certainly. We can cover the whole path from signal ingest to a fully customised player, letting you consolidate the entire video processing workflow in one place. We have already helped a number of traditional broadcasters stand up end-to-end live and VOD solutions for their digital projects.
