We\u2019re talking about Clutchprep, an education company that helps college students pass their classes with a series of online video courses. Videos match actual college textbooks, so they are meaty in content and large in bandwidth. With several thousand active users per week, Clutchprep faced a challenge early on: finding a reliable CDN that could handle their heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Storing video content on S3, Clutchprep originally turned to Amazon Cloudfront. But they found the customer service to be lacking whenever they had problems, when things were not working right. Not only that, they couldn\u2019t even get a hold of anyone to get an explanation. All of the issues were around video streaming. Considering this is the #1 way their customers access their content, this wasn\u2019t going to fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"110\" src=\"https:\/\/www.belugacdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/customer-spotlight-clutchprep.png\" alt=\"Clutch\" data-id=\"102\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.belugacdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/customer-spotlight-clutchprep.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.belugacdn.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=102\" class=\"wp-image-102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.belugacdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/customer-spotlight-clutchprep.png 400w, https:\/\/www.belugacdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/customer-spotlight-clutchprep-300x83.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 85vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> Clutchprep needed a <strong>high-performance <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.belugacdn.com\/blog\/ipv6-and-why-your-cdn-should-have-it\/\"><strong>IPv6 Content Delivery Network (CDN)<\/strong><\/a> to see tangible results in their video streaming speed, so they made the move to Beluga in May 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Co-founder and CTO, Alain Fontaine, liked the quick sign-up process and ease-of-use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cIt\u2019s so easy to use &#8211; we signed up through BelugaCDN.com, connected our S3 accounts to them, and started serving videos that way. My favorite part so far has been the customer service &#8211; BelugaCDN has been very helpful and responsive. Whenever there\u2019s an emergency that comes up, they get back to me quickly. We\u2019ve had no issues delivering videos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.belugacdn.com\/cdn\/\">Beluga\u2019s low CDN Plans<\/a> has been a win as well, and Fontaine cites it as one of the key selling points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cThe price is very competitive. Otherwise, the cost of goods (videos) for us would be extremely high to stream\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> By using BelugaCDN, Clutchprep reduced their bandwidth bill, virtually eliminated video buffering, and increased video stream time \u2013 enabling them to service their thousands of monthly active users without breaking a sweat. We\u2019re sure a few more students passed their classes thanks to Clutchprep and BelugaCDN!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Interested in seeing what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.belugacdn.com\/\">BelugaCDN<\/a> can do for your company?
