When buffering starts, viewers leave
Your streaming infrastructure is either invisible or unforgiveable.
High-throughput, low-latency performance
Performance with no jitter, no noisy neighbors, and no virtualization overhead, which is critical for live video where packet delay means buffering.
Scalable bandwidth without surprise bills
Scale your viewership without the fear of runaway egress fees. Our dedicated servers are often 3–5x more cost-effective than virtualized equivalents.
Transcoding-ready hardware
Bare metal gives you full access to high-core-count processors for maximum transcoding efficiency without the vCPU limitations of cloud instances.
Global reach with instant playback
Hivelocity lets you deploy origin servers and edge infrastructure closer to your audience — reducing round-trip times, minimizing buffering, and delivering the instant playback experience viewers expect. Our self-healing, multi-homed network with 2+ Tbps transit capacity and 1,000+ direct peers handles massive concurrent viewership without degradation.

Powering your streaming pipeline
Hivelocity powers the infrastructure behind seamless video delivery
Live video streaming server infrastructure
Real-time ingest, transcoding, and distribution to thousands or millions of concurrent viewers requires bare metal performance with deterministic latency and massive throughput. No buffering, no dropped frames, no second chances.
OTT platforms and video on demand
On-demand streaming needs high-capacity storage, efficient transcoding pipelines, and low-latency delivery. Hivelocity's flexible infrastructure lets you architect origin servers, transcoding clusters, and edge nodes optimized for adaptive bitrate delivery.
CDN and edge content delivery
Content delivery networks rely on strategically placed edge servers to reduce latency. With global data centers and predictable bandwidth pricing, Hivelocity is an ideal substrate for CDN operators building or expanding their edge footprint.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of streaming workloads do your servers support?
Hivelocity supports the full spectrum of streaming workloads — from basic live streaming ingest and VOD hosting to large-scale live sports streaming, multi region OTT platforms, real-time transcoding clusters, and CDN edge infrastructure.
How does bare metal compare to cloud for streaming costs?
Dedicated bare metal servers are often 3-5x more cost-effective than cloud for high-throughput streaming workloads. Cloud egress fees scale with viewership, while Hivelocity’s flat pricing model provides predictable bandwidth costs as your audience grows.
Can I deploy servers in multiple regions for global content delivery?
Yes. With 40+ data centers across 6 continents, you can deploy origin servers and edge nodes in the regions your viewers are located, minimizing latency and improving playback performance globally.
Do your servers include DDoS protection for streaming platforms?
Yes. DDoS protection is included. Our network-level mitigation protects live streaming infrastructure from volumetric attacks that could interrupt broadcasts — especially critical for live events and sports streaming.
