MainStreaming Recognized in 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Edge Platforms

MainStreaming, an innovative leader in edge video delivery, has been recognized as a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Edge Distribution Platforms. This accolade underscores the company’s role as a key innovator in edge-native media delivery, catering to the evolving demands of video streaming, security, and AI-driven workloads.

This recognition follows MainStreaming’s earlier inclusion in the 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Edge Computing as a Representative Vendor in the Data Center and Cloud Edge Services category, further highlighting its ongoing leadership in next-generation streaming infrastructure.

Understanding Edge Distribution Platforms

According to Gartner, edge distribution platforms (EDPs) are highly distributed, edge-based networks that integrate cloud delivery infrastructures. These platforms provide essential as-a-service functionalities, including edge compute and storage, web application and perimeter security, content and API acceleration, data analytics, and AI application infrastructure.

The adoption of EDPs is increasing as enterprises seek intelligent, low-latency, and scalable infrastructures to support video performance and emerging AI workloads. MainStreaming’s edge-native video delivery platform has been recognized for its comprehensive suite of private, public, and hybrid edge architectures designed specifically for broadcasters, Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms, and Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

MainStreaming’s proprietary Intelligent Media Delivery Platform® offers end-to-end control and real-time optimization, aiming to reduce congestion and enhance network sustainability while improving Quality of Experience (QoE) at scale.

Strategic Vision and Future Goals

“Being recognized once again by Gartner is, in our view, an acknowledgment of our strategic path and edge-native vision for video delivery,” stated Antonio G. Corrado, Founder and Executive Chairman of MainStreaming. “As video streaming evolves into high-demand, AI-powered, and security-sensitive ecosystems, intelligent edge distribution becomes the foundation for cost-efficient, reliable, and sustainable performance.”

MainStreaming is designed specifically for live and on-demand video. The company collaborates closely with ISPs and telecom operators to deploy dedicated media edge nodes that optimize network efficiency while enabling broadcasters and platforms to dynamically scale capacity based on audience peaks. This strategy aligns with Gartner’s guidance for enterprises to adopt edge solutions that enhance performance visibility, accelerate AI workloads, and achieve long-term digital transformation goals.

This recognition by Gartner emphasizes MainStreaming’s commitment to transforming content delivery networks into intelligent, energy-efficient, and application-aware edge platforms that support the entire video ecosystem. This includes live sports, entertainment, premium on-demand streaming, and enhanced media security.
