Jet-Stream Cloud is charged per minute usage by you, based on monthly usage. Viewer minutes and play starts are unlimited, with traffic bundles. Free accounts are for one month testing. Basic accounts are monthly commits, other accounts are annual commits. One month equals 43830 minutes.
Large bundles
All commits include large storage, traffic and transcoding bundles. Choose the account that fits your needs. Contact our experts for advise on sizing and a quotation.
Unlimited and free bundled services
Many services are included unlimited, for free, including origin, live and vod real-time packaging, multi-CDN, media player, analytics and security services such as password protection, geo fencing and token based URL signing.
Transparent and predictable
The benefit of the price per minute bundle is that you have transparent pricing, large bundles, and no unexpected charges as you would get with generic clouds, which charge micro-costs for a plethora of services such as ingest, store, retrieve, hits, and servers.
Calculation example:
You use the Pro account. You pay €0,015 per minute. One month equals 43830 minutes, so your monthly TCO is €657,30, with an annual commit. This price includes 1000 GB storage, 5000 GB traffic, 5000 transcoding minutes, the Pro player license with unlimited play starts, packagers, the Pro Analytics service with unlimited views, unlimited packaging, unlimited Multi-CDN load balancing, unlimited use of the security features, and 60 API calls per minute.
Jet-Stream Cloud packages include large storage bundles. Choose the package that suits your storage needs best. Contact us for expert advise on sizing and a quotation.
High performance 8K, 4x redundant storage
Jet-Stream storage is designed to accommodate 8K streaming, it is a premium storage service. All your content is automatically stored redundantly, times 2 zones. Bundled storage is actual usable storage, so in reality you are using more storage due to storage redundancy times 2 zones.
Extra storage
Extra storage is charged per GB at competitive rates. Actual price per GB is calculated times 4, because of the 4x redundancy.
Calculation example:
You are using the Pro account with 1000 GB storage (equals 4000 GB real storage). Your storage need is 1200 GB. 200 GB extra storage equals 4×200 = 800GB storage. At €0,01 per GB, you pay €0,01 * 800 = €8 for the extra storage per month.
Optional: dedicated storage
Are you planning to scale? Jet-Stream Cloud offers dedicated storage options starting at 100TB (actual, equals up to 400TB real world) storage. There are some benefits: first of all, you get dedicated reserved storage origins, with your own live ingest points, your own packagers, which can be customised to suit your specific needs, such as custom DVR, packaging, ad insertion and DRM. Second, you pay a wholesale flat fee per month at very competitive rates.
Optional: remote storage
Larger plans unlock the capability to integrate multiple and redundant origin VOD and live servers, for example on-premises origins with your own storage. You can combine third party origin storage with Jet-Stream origin storage to support multiple use cases and workflows in one account to create the most optimal storage mix.
All Jet-Stream Cloud packages include a large traffic bundle for free. Choose the package that suits your needs best. Contact us for expert advise on sizing and a quotation.
Bundled and extra traffic
If your service generates extra traffic beyond your bundle, this traffic is charged per GB afterwards. The price per GB depends on your volume and whether you use the volume or the premium CDN option.
Competitive traffic rates
Traffic rates can vary between €0,005 per GB for high volume traffic to €0,05 for low volume premium traffic to exotic regions. Jet-Stream is transparent in which rates you get and these are contractually signed, to prevent unpleasant surprises.
Multi CDN mix
With Basic and Pro accounts, Jet-Stream creates the mix of CDNs. With Enterprise and Broadcaster accounts you get to choose which CDNs are used in which region.
Calculation example:
You are using the Pro account which includes 60000 GB traffic per year (5000 GB per month). In the past month you have used 7500 GB, which means 2500 GB extra. The contractual price for extra traffic was €0,02 per GB for premium CDN usage, so you are charged €0,02 * 2500 = €50 extra for that month. Traffic bundles are calculated per month. If you want annual flexible traffic volumes, please contact us.
FUP
You can override Jet-Stream’s multi-CDN load balancing system and steer traffic per individual stream, video and origin to specific CDNs. Jet-Stream uses a fair use policy on CDN switching, meaning that you won’t get instant charges if temporarily more expensive CDNs are being used. If more expensive CDNs are used beyond the FUP, Jet-Stream will charge you the higher CDN charge.
Bespoke CDN configurations
For large volumes, Jet-Stream helps you negotiate competitive wholesale rates with its CDN partners. Jet-Stream is neutral and independent and advise on the best CDNs for your use case, and considers geographies, performance, uptime, pricing, features, eco-footprint and data protection. Jet-Stream charges hours for consulting, negotiations, testing and implementation.
Bring your own CDN
For larger plans it is possible to bring in your own CDN contract. In that case, Jet-Stream will not charge for traffic, instead Jet-Stream will charge fees for multi-CDN load balancing, log processing and analytics. If your CDN is not integrated yet, Jet-Stream will charge one-time integration costs.
Private edges
For larger plans, Jet-Stream can deploy dedicated, private edge servers, either in our facilities, or in third party on-premises facilities. This enables deep edge delivery inside telecom, mobile and enterprise networks. These edges can be mixed with CDNs, to design the most optimal delivery infrastructure for your use case.
Jet-Stream Cloud offers packages that include a large transcoding bundle for free. Choose the package that suits your needs.
Pay per minute and 24/7
Transcoding is charged per output minute. The base fee for transcoding is €0,02 per minute for vod and event streaming, and €0,005 per minute for 24/7 continuous live transcoding.
Minutes
The base fee is for SD content. For HD content (HD and FHD), every minute is charged x2. For content beyond FHD such as 2,5K and 4K, every minute is charged x4.
Example 1:
You are transcoding vod or live 10 hours of video to SD, HD, FHD quality. 10 hours * 60 minutes = 600 minutes SD, 1200 minutes HD and 1200 minutes FHD, the sum is 3000 minutes. This fits within your Pro bundle of 3000 minutes per month.
Example 2:
You are transcoding vod or live 20 hours of video to SD, HD, FHD quality. 20 hours * 60 minutes = 1200 minutes SD, 2400 minutes HD and 2400 minutes FHD, the sum is 6000 minutes. This means that you used 3000 minutes beyond your Pro bundle. €0,02 * 3000 = €60 extra charge for transcoding this month.
Example 3:
You are live transcoding a 24/7 stream in SD, HD and FHD qualities. One month equals 43830 minutes. 43830 (SD) + 87660 (HD) + 87660 (FHD) = 219150, minus 5000 in the Pro bundle = 214150 minutes. 214150 * €0,005 = €1070,75.

Custom bit rate ladders
Most plans come with the ability to create custom transcoding profiles. Per profile you can decide the bit rates and qualities. Per title and per live stream you can choose which profile is being used. This way you have full control over both quality and costs, per title and per stream.
Passthrough
You can encode and transcode your own content yourself, and upload / upstream to Jet-Stream Cloud. When choosing the direct upload / passthrough option, your content is distributed unaltered in its original pristine quality up to 8K. Direct upload / passthrough is free of charge. This gives you full control over transcoding, quality and costs per title.
Jet-Stream Cloud’s service is charged per minute use for you, comes with unlimited viewing minutes and play starts, and includes large traffic, storage and transcoding bundles.
