Edge re-streaming is an important aspect of delivering high-quality video content to customers and audiences. Softvelum's Nimble Streamer is the ideal solution for edge restreaming. With Nimble, you can create light-weight edge servers that re-transmit media streams from any origin to viewers and customers. Leveraging Nimble users can provide viewers with a seamless and uninterrupted streaming experience. Whether you need to re-stream HLS, MPEG-DASH, HDS, or SmoothStreaming traffic, Nimble has you covered.

Nimble's advanced caching system provides efficient and fast re-streaming, and has the option to use RAM cache for live streaming and disk cache for VOD delivery. This helps to off-load the origin server and increase transmission speed, giving you the peace of mind that your customers will receive the best quality content. In addition, Nimble provides hot-linking protection and domain lock, ensuring that your streaming media is protected from unauthorized re-streaming. Users can also use geo- and IP-based restrictions to limit access to your streaming media, giving them complete control over who can view your content.
