Interview with Chris Strijbosch, VP Business Development, nanocosmos, by Raskenlund, Consulting Agency & Streaming Media Experts.
Your low latency options in 2021
nanocosmos: an end-to-end approach for ultra-low latency streaming
Next up in our series of Low Latency solution providers is nanocosmos with their live streaming platform nanoStream Cloud. nanocosmos was founded by Oliver Lietz (CEO) in 1999. It was bootstrapped, although funding in the dot.com period would have been fairly easy. As a result, they have no external investors which allows them to do what they believe is important. Today they have over 30 employees, mainly located in Germany from where they support a global customer base including North America and East Asia.
On a Friday evening sometime at the end of June I interviewed Chris Strijbosch, VP Business Development from nanocosmos
The interview is conducted using their own video-meeting software nanoMeet – their latest addition to their low latency live streaming platform nanoStream Cloud, which also allows me to record the session. And immediately I have a first question: “Is this the new Zoom, WebEx or Meet?” The answer is clear: nanocosmos has a different objective, and competing with these solutions would only distract them from their own vision.”
Raskenlund: How does your solution differ from other solutions?
Strijbosch: For most streaming media companies, setting up a live streaming service or platform is too complex. And that’s why we approach things differently. We want to accomplish both: very easy, extremely simple in use and in parallel offer an extremely high SLA, close to 100% up-time. Our customers should never be worried about their solution so they can focus on their core business: monetizing their content. Hence, we allow partners like Raskenlund to customize and integrate our solution for our end customers, so it becomes their solution and it supports their specific requirements, their colors, their name.What contribution is required on the partner’s side? The partner needs a little bit of web-based development on the ingest side, and a little bit of web-based development on the player side and finally, they should bring along their cameras of course!
Raskenlund: If you heavily customize, don’t you risk introducing latency?
Raskenlund: For what use cases is nanocosmos typically used?
Raskenlund: how do you secure ultra-low latency? Do you support DRM for instance?
Raskenlund: how do you keep your customers happy?
Raskenlund: Thanks for your time Chris. nanocosmos technology does indeed offer a great end-to-end service for our customers. It has been a pleasure working with you and the rest of the team at nanocosmos.
