Ziggeo: Video Tech with Superpowers

Ziggeo has superpowers. Forget leaping tall buildings with a single bound. We stay up when others go down; blast through corporate firewalls and protect videos like no other. Here’s how: When AWS SQS went down earlier this year, Ziggeo's service remained unaffected (unlike major cloud-based services such as Twilio, Slack, Github, Quora and Kickstarter). That's because we've ensured we're resilient against degraded performance of underlying cloud services. We also ensure all data is backed up and that we are fully and automatically scalable by microservice-based architecture and CDNs. Another challenge we've overcome is to ensure that hackers can't view videos without permission. We solved this problem by creating a patent-pending token-based system in which permission must granted on a per user and per video basis. Other SaaS solutions have not developed a secure system for protecting videos. Ours in fact is done on a programmatic basis which means that permission can be granted automatically. Still another challenge we encountered is corporate firewalls, and how videos can be both recorded and streamed through them. We solved that problem by automatically performing a series of network checks to determine the best ports, protocols and means of communication to adjust to whichever settings will enable the date to flow through the corporate firewall. Finally, a challenge we encountered (and solved) is that EU privacy laws dictate that any data generated by European clients must stay within EU borders. As such, we built a separate SaaS solution for EU-based clients in which data stays entirely within the EU.
