Hybrid cloud infrastructure has finally arrived for video streaming, and it's transforming how organizations balance performance, cost, and sovereignty requirements. In this enlightening conversation with Stefan Ideler from i3D.net, we explore how the gaming industry's early adoption of hybrid approaches now offers valuable lessons for video streaming platforms facing similar pressures.
Stefan reveals how i3D.net's massive global network, exceeding 30 terabits per second across 65 locations worldwide, provides the foundation for both gaming and video delivery services requiring ultra-low latency. Having started in 2004 before AWS even existed, i3D.net has evolved from gaming server provider to infrastructure powerhouse supporting companies like Discord through unprecedented scaling challenges.
What truly differentiates modern infrastructure providers isn't just their network footprint but their approach to customer partnerships. "You talk to humans, to engineers directly," Stefan explains. "We're in a Slack channel together, directly talking to your engineers, giving insights, sharing dashboards. We're really part of your operational team." This collaborative approach, combined with world-class anti-DDoS protection and network quality, creates value beyond pure cost considerations.
The conversation oscillates into the evolving silicon landscape within data centers, where specialized accelerators increasingly complement CPUs and GPUs. Stefan predicts that within five years, at least one-third of processing capacity will shift to AI inferencing chipsets, while VPUs continue growing in importance for video workloads. As power constraints become critical, especially in Europe, these efficiency gains aren't just economically advantageous - they're operationally essential.
For organizations struggling with cloud costs or sovereignty requirements, pragmatic migration paths exist. Through direct connectivity between cloud providers and bare metal infrastructure, companies can gradually shift static workloads while maintaining service continuity. The key is collaboration between engineering teams willing to develop innovative solutions together.
