Case Study: Skillsoft scales video delivery 4x globally with Fastly

Key results

The challenge

With 90% of its content in video, EdTech leader Skillsoft saw traffic surge roughly 4x in a short period as learning moved online, creating capacity, latency, and availability concerns across global markets.

The solution

Skillsoft used Fastly's on-the-fly packaging (OTFP), Instant Purge, and origin shielding, with enterprise support, to optimize delivery geographically, increase cache hit ratios, and minimize latency.

The results, in context

Skillsoft scaled its video content by 400% (4x) while preserving uptime and availability, with no latency issues and no additional support needed during the increase in scale.
