How OTFP can help
OTFP lets you store files and dynamically package and deliver optimized versions when requested. It supports common streaming formats and resolutions to give you flexibility when delivering online media. OTFP lets you package and deliver different versions for mobile users as their network connection improves or degrades. And since it only package what viewers request, you deliver only what is needed.

"One of the things Fastly provides that has allowed us to be successful is their On-the-Fly Packager. Our originals are being packaged for us rather than JW Player having to package everything ourselves. It’s worked really well, and Fastly has helped us a ton."
