Poor video performance, outages and pirated streams can cause
significant issues for streaming-and these issues can be catastrophic for live
events where demand is high and viewers don't want to miss a single second. To
help streaming companies immediately see and respond to these issues, Hydrolix, the streaming data lake
company disrupting the economics of big data, has teamed with Mux, the company behind the leading video
streaming and monitoring platform for developers, to extend infrastructure
observability to every screen.
Key Points:
- Hydrolix is partnering with Mux to extend video observability to
the screen for streaming video providers.
- The Hydrolix
platform ingests, stores and queries terabytes of log data while providing
cost-effective, long-term storage, and sub-second query latency on all of
the data - whether it's a minute or a year old. This makes Hydrolix an
ideal fit for origin-to-edge observability and content delivery network
(CDN) monitoring, which typically generate large volumes of data.
- Mux Data provides comprehensive
metrics for a deep understanding of video quality of experience across
applications available on all device platforms. With Mux, streaming
companies can quickly detect and fix potential quality of experience
issues like playback failures, long video startup time, rebuffering
latency and video quality.
- Combined, Hydrolix
retains and analyzes data from Mux along with origin and edge services log
data and presents critical insights in one dashboard so that on-demand
streamers can immediately spot quality of experience issues throughout
their content's digital journey.
- The Mux
integration is compatible with Cascade, Hydrolix's managed
observability service for AWS; TrafficPeak, an Akamai Cloud
observability solution powered by Hydrolix; and other solutions powered by
the Hydrolix streaming data lake.
Combined, Hydrolix and Mux provide unique benefits that other
platforms can't provide, including:
- Next-level CDN
monitoring - now with video analytics included
- Real-time
origin-to-edge observability including for major events generating
millions of log lines per second
- Long-term
historical analytics for a deep understanding of user engagement and
trends over time

"Hydrolix has solved the problem of how to store and query all of
your observability data in real time, at scale, and without breaking the bank,"
said Marty Kagan, co-founder and CEO of Hydrolix. "Mux has solved the problem
of how to get comprehensive visibility into video players to see how users are
engaging with their content. When you put these two incredible technologies
together, you get something event and video streamers have never had before:
affordable, real-time observability at scale from origin to edge in one
dashboard."
"Mux is committed to helping publishers deliver content better by
deeply understanding the viewer experience, and that's why our platform is the
trusted infrastructure for the world's largest streaming events," said Jon
Dahl, co-founder and CEO of Mux. "Now, through our partnership with Hydrolix,
publishers can use Mux Data along with all the other observability data they
need to maximize infrastructure performance, from content creation to delivery.
Everything is in one place, and every bit of data can be kept and queried for
rapid response and deep insights."
