Overview

CDNVideo is a content delivery network provider founded in 2008, specializing in video streaming and content delivery services. Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, it serves a wide range of clients, including media companies, e-commerce platforms, and gaming businesses. The company operates a global network with a strong presence in Russia, EMEA, APAC, and China. CDNVideo focuses on delivering video-on-demand (VOD) and live streaming solutions, catering to businesses needing reliable content distribution. Its customers include broadcasters, OTT platforms, and enterprises requiring low-latency video delivery.

Network & Architecture

CDNVideo operates over 100 points of presence (PoPs) across North America, Europe, Asia, and Russia, with a notable focus on the Russian market. Its network leverages partnerships with major ISPs and peering points to ensure low-latency delivery. The architecture supports video streaming with adaptive bitrate capabilities and is optimized for high-traffic scenarios. CDNVideo has a China-licensed CDN, enabling compliant content delivery in that region. Limitations include less extensive coverage in Latin America and Africa compared to larger providers like Cloudflare or Akamai.

Pricing

Integrations & DevEx

CDNVideo provides an API-first platform for managing configurations and accessing real-time logs. Documentation is available for integrating with common CMS platforms and video players. It lacks native Terraform support or advanced CI/CD integrations compared to providers like Fastly. Migration tools are available for importing content from other CDNs, with support for standard protocols. Real-time analytics focus on video delivery metrics, such as buffering rates and viewer engagement.

When it fits

  • Businesses targeting Russia or China, where CDNVideo has strong regional presence and licensing.
  • Media companies needing reliable video-on-demand or live streaming with RTMP ingest.
  • Customers seeking a PAYG model with a focus on video delivery without complex edge compute needs.

When it doesn’t

  • Organizations requiring advanced edge compute, serverless functions, or key-value storage.
  • Users needing extensive coverage in Latin America or Africa, where PoP density is lower.
  • Enterprises prioritizing WAF, bot mitigation, or advanced analytics, which are not offered.
