The reason why nanoStream Cloud stands out amongst other solutions as being unique and of cutting edge technology is not one reason, but rather all features and functions that are combined, optimized for commercial use. Delivering live streaming B2B and eventually B2C is a complex process that requires a solution that ties all ends together and makes them work for the client. nanoStream Cloud focusses on this approach: The client just needs to deliver the content and camera.

- Integrated Analytics: a tool to monitor and improve customer experience and quality of service, and respectively, grow business. It now covers access to an API directly allowing raw data to be used for internal processes on the client’s side. This metrics API allows clients direct access to files e.g. Excel spreadsheets and source data the nanoStream Analytics dashboard is based on. Filters may be used to extract streaming traffic based on name, usage or time frames and data may be used to run internal queries or it may be integrated into further automatic data processing. For instance streaming traffic data can be used for accounting purposes e.g. to generate automatic invoices for end users.
