What CDNvideo does

CDNvideo is a global Content Delivery Network provider founded in 2010 in Moscow, operating a network of 86,000+ servers across five continents with 42 Tbps of aggregate bandwidth. The company delivers three core infrastructure services — Live Streaming (including P2P-enabled delivery), Video on Demand, and HTTP/Web Acceleration — alongside a broad portfolio of ancillary capabilities: S3-compatible cloud storage, ARM-based virtual machines and containers, DDoS protection, Web Application Firewall, Origin Shielding, Cloud DNS+, a modern HTML5 Player with P2P and 360-degree video support, transcoding APIs, and White-Label/Virtual CDN for telecom operators. Since 2017, CDNvideo has been a subsidiary of China's Wangsu Group, which unites three CDN brands (ChinaNetCenter, CDNvideo, CDNetworks) and operates what it describes as the world's second-largest CDN, with combined assets of 200,000+ servers, 2,800+ PoPs, 70+ countries, and 15 Tbps+ DDoS mitigation capability. The technology stack includes a patented in-house load balancing algorithm, a comprehensive REST API with OAuth 2.0 authentication across all service domains, and a Terraform provider for Infrastructure-as-Code deployment.

The business model is usage-based on bandwidth and traffic volume for core CDN services, with subscription/recurring revenue for cloud storage, security services, white-label arrangements, and Multi-CDN orchestration. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (with custom integrations for broadcasters) and an API-first self-service motion targeting mid-market developers; CDNvideo also distributes via channel partners and white-label resellers. The company claims 600+ enterprise customers (publicly named examples include AmoCRM, Playflock, and Opogame) and 40,000+ websites accelerated cumulatively since inception, serving primary verticals of TV/broadcasters, OTT providers, e-commerce, and gaming, with secondary exposure to e-learning, events/advertising, media/entertainment, and software distribution. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

A more recent product extension is the AI Avatars suite — including a Text-to-Video Talking Head API supporting hyperrealistic virtual presenters with multi-language voice synthesis (Yandex and Microsoft providers) and SSML-based emotional/intonation control. This positions AI-powered video generation as a feature layer atop CDN distribution, targeting content production workflows for media, e-learning, and corporate communications use cases. Headcount is reported at 51–100 employees, and revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held, GDPR-compliant as a Data Processor, and subject to Russian Federation Decree No. 2011 client identity verification requirements implemented in late 2023.
