What was the problem you were facing and trying to solve?
Due to the nature of our online business, we needed a way to deliver Auctions through an online stream to thousands of people around the nation. As more of our customer base grew online we needed a way to accommodate them and that solution was online streaming. Through an online stream, we are able to publish an auction in real-time and customers can tune in to bid no matter where they are located.
What possible solutions did you consider, and why did you choose Ant Media Server?
We considered many different providers for online streaming but Ant Media stood above the rest. The most impressive aspect to us was the very low latency of the stream. It was almost in real-time with the delay being about half a second. This was very important to us as it was essential for our business to have a stream that was as close to being in real-time as possible. Ant Media was definitely the most impressive in that regard and provided an exceptional product.
How have you benefited from using Ant Media Server?
By using Ant Media we have been able to provide our clientele with a platform for them to view our auctions and interact with them no matter where they are in the world. In an auction, every second counts, and this was the core aspect that Ant Media’s platform provided us through their impressive low latency streaming service.
What are Lloyds’ aspirations moving forward?
We would like to work with Ant Media to integrate their platform with our own platform more seamlessly so that the entire workflow is smooth and effortless.
