MainStreaming Recognized in 2025 Gartner Edge Distribution Guide

MainStreaming, an innovative Edge Video Delivery Network based in Milan, has been named a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Edge Distribution Platforms. This recognition underscores the company’s role as a leader in edge-native media delivery, catering to the growing demands of video streaming, security, and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads.

This acknowledgment follows MainStreaming’s earlier inclusion in Gartner’s 2025 Market Guide for Edge Computing, where it was recognized in the Data Center and Cloud Edge Services category. Such accolades highlight what the company describes as its ongoing momentum and leadership in next-generation streaming infrastructure.

Understanding Edge Distribution Platforms

According to Gartner, edge distribution platforms (EDPs) are advanced, integrated networks that facilitate cloud delivery for various services. These platforms provide functionalities such as edge compute and storage, web application security, content acceleration, and AI application infrastructure. As businesses increasingly seek intelligent, low-latency solutions, the demand for EDPs is accelerating, particularly for enterprises engaged in video and AI applications.

MainStreaming’s recognition stems from its edge-native video delivery platform, designed to meet the needs of broadcasters, over-the-top (OTT) platforms, and internet service providers (ISPs). The company’s proprietary Intelligent Media Delivery Platform® offers comprehensive control and real-time optimization, aiming to reduce congestion, enhance network sustainability, and improve the overall quality of experience (QoE) for users.

Strategic Vision and Industry Impact

“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. He emphasized the importance of intelligent edge distribution as video streaming transitions into high-demand and security-sensitive environments.

MainStreaming specializes in both live and on-demand video solutions, working closely with ISPs and telecom operators to deploy dedicated media edge nodes. This collaboration enhances network efficiency and allows broadcasters to dynamically scale their capacity based on viewer demand. The company believes this approach aligns with Gartner’s recommendations for enterprises to adopt edge solutions that improve performance visibility and support AI initiatives.

Furthermore, MainStreaming is committed to redefining content delivery networks into intelligent, application-aware edge platforms. This transition aims to support the entire video ecosystem, from live sports events to premium on-demand streaming and enhanced media security.

The 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Edge Distribution Platforms was published on November 17, 2025, and reflects Gartner’s independent research and analysis. While Gartner does not endorse any specific vendor or product, the guide serves as a valuable resource for organizations looking to navigate the complexities of edge technology.
