The StreamGuys Network - Equinix data centers including Tokyo and Amsterdam

Philosophy

At StreamGuys we understand that a streaming service requires a premium network
to reliably serve audio and video signals. That’s why we engineered our network
specifically for the purpose of supporting high volume audio and video streams.
Broadcasters need a network that will be up 24/7, 365 days of the year. As a
company strategy we have continually invested in providing the best possible service
level, taking care to grow our streaming distribution network for the benefit of
quality routing.

Geographic and Network Diversity

We balance the needs of geographic and network diversity. As a global media
distributor we need to insure that people all over the world, on a wide variety of
internet networks, can receive the broadcast signal. Network diversity is the defining
characteristic of an improved network. While geographic diversity plays a role,
ultimately using a diverse mix of networks enables the end user the best possible
network path to their destination. That’s why we use an extremely diverse range of
network providers, from premium tier-1 bandwidth carriers to private and public
peering, we combine networks to achieve a rich environment.
For geographic diversity we maintain points of presence in key data centers around
the world, with three data centers in the US, one in Amsterdam, and one in Tokyo.
Through our data centers we route our diverse network connections from one data
center to another. This method of routing blends the best of aspects of geographic
diversity with network diversity.
