Case Study: ofenakademie.de

Organization

The ofenakademie.de, founded by Max Kummrow, aims to reduce emissions from wood-burning stoves and to better educate owners of wood-burning stoves in Germany through in-depth training. The learning platform offers video content that is specifically tailored to the needs and questions of users.

Challenge

A major concern for ofenakademie.de was data sovereignty and privacy, especially storing data within Germany. Additionally, users’ varying bandwidths and devices required a flexible video streaming solution that could dynamically adapt content.

Solution

VIDEO.TAXI provided a service that met technical requirements and responded quickly and efficiently to peak loads—critical during the high season from October to Easter when many users access the platform simultaneously. VIDEO.TAXI offered adaptive streaming technology that scales videos according to the user’s bandwidth and device.

Result

Implementing VIDEO.TAXI as a GDPR-compliant video hosting provider allowed ofenakademie.de to effectively stream training videos without delays. This was crucial as the platform saw high concurrent participation during training sessions.
By scaling video streams according to bandwidth and device, all participants enjoyed an optimal learning experience.
