MainStreaming Recognized in 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Edge Platforms

MainStreaming has been recognized in the 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Edge Distribution Platforms as a Representative Vendor. This distinction highlights the company’s innovative edge video delivery network, which is tailored to meet the growing demands of video streaming, security, and AI-driven workloads at the edge.

The inclusion in the report, published on November 17, 2025, follows MainStreaming’s previous recognition in the Gartner Market Guide for Edge Computing, where it was also identified as a Representative Vendor in the Data Center and Cloud Edge Services category. This ongoing acknowledgment underscores the firm’s momentum and leadership in developing next-generation streaming infrastructure.

Defining Edge Distribution Platforms

According to Gartner, edge distribution platforms (EDPs) are highly distributed, edge-based networks that integrate cloud delivery infrastructures. They provide essential functionalities as a service, including edge computing, storage, web application security, content acceleration, and data analytics. As enterprises increasingly require intelligent and low-latency infrastructures to support video performance and emerging AI applications, the adoption of EDPs is accelerating.

MainStreaming’s recognition stems from its edge-native video delivery platform, which supports a wide range of architectures—private, public, and hybrid—designed specifically for broadcasters, over-the-top (OTT) platforms, and internet service providers (ISPs). The firm’s proprietary Intelligent Media Delivery Platform® offers end-to-end control and real-time optimization, which significantly reduces congestion and enhances network sustainability, improving the Quality of Experience (QoE) at scale.

Industry Collaboration and Future Vision

“Being recognized once again by Gartner is an acknowledgment of our strategic path and edge-native vision for video delivery,” said Antonio G. Corrado, Founder and Executive Chairman of MainStreaming. He emphasized the importance of intelligent edge distribution as video streaming evolves into more demanding and security-sensitive ecosystems.

MainStreaming’s approach focuses on collaborating closely with ISPs and telecom operators to deploy dedicated media edge nodes. This strategy optimizes network efficiency and allows broadcasters and platforms to dynamically scale their capacity based on audience peaks. The company believes this aligns with Gartner’s guidance for enterprises to adopt edge solutions that enhance performance visibility and support long-term digital transformation objectives.

The firm’s commitment to redefining content delivery networks into intelligent, energy-efficient, and application-aware edge platforms aims to support the entire video ecosystem, from live sports and entertainment to premium on-demand streaming and enhanced media security.
