Our take
Varnish Software is a free, open-source HTTP accelerator helping web companies deliver high speed services whilst avoiding downtime and poor performance. Whilst the company has been in the game for a while, it has seen a lucrative new avenue open up thanks to the ballooning growth of the video-on-demand market.
Streaming giants like Netflix are searching for ways to balance high content demand with lower energy consumption and costs. This problem is compounded when live streaming is thrown into the mix. Varnish Software, however, is making impressive strides in improving the throughput levels necessary to give streaming services an operational edge.
With video content now constituting a large fraction of internet traffic, this puts Varnish Software in a strong market position. Among its global customer base, it also offers products like protection against DDoS attacks, and web services for 5G. By offering a spread of products that are increasingly critical to the success of web content, its continued value and utility in the space looks like a sure thing.
