Product Description

Kollective Software Defined ECDN enables live video and file delivery on a global scale, without the need for new hardware.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

With over a decade of experience serving the world's biggest corporations, Kollective helps companies securely and effectively achieve their large-file content distribution goals.

Unlike other hardware and software-based solutions, the Kollective Software-Defined Enterprise Content Delivery Network (SD ECDN) is robust, mature and adaptable. Perfected through an extended period of optimization, and battle-tested on some of the world's most challenging network environments, Kollective's SD ECDN has risen to the top of its class in software defined networking.
