Spain bets on “streaming-first” CDNs, not generic internet pipes
Spanish consultancy and systems integrator MoMe launched a streaming-optimised CDNaaS in Spain using Synamedia’s Fluid EdgeCDN, positioned as the country’s first CDN service built specifically for video streaming. The deployment spans eight data centres in Spain with edge locations aimed at lowering latency, adding end-to-end QoS/QoE monitoring, and supporting integration of ingest, encoding, and packaging closer to the edge. The service will be offered via MoMe subsidiary Argos Technology Services, with multi-CDN services outside Spain including integration with Synamedia’s Quortex Switch.
Key Takeaways
- MoMe + Synamedia launched a Spain-based, streaming-optimised CDNaaS across eight domestic data centres.
- Differentiator is end-to-end QoS/QoE monitoring and “single throat to choke” accountability versus multi-vendor delivery chains.
- Architecture supports moving parts of the streaming workflow (ingest, encoding, packaging) closer to edge locations.
- Synamedia claims AI-based traffic prediction and scaling from ~500 Gbps to 5+ Tbps for large live events.
- Outside Spain, MoMe will offer multi-CDN integrations, including Synamedia’s Quortex Switch.
Why It Matters
This is the “sovereign streaming delivery” play meeting the “CDN is a video platform” play. As regulators, broadcasters, and rights holders demand tighter control (data residency, security posture, predictable performance), generic global CDNs start to look like blunt instruments—great for web traffic, uneven for streaming economics and observability. MoMe’s pitch—video-first telemetry + edge-adjacent processing + local infrastructure—signals a shift toward vertically integrated delivery stacks where CDN, processing, and monitoring converge. If replicated across Europe, it could pressure global CDNs to productize streaming-specific guarantees, not just bandwidth.
