2024: Unification based on one-cloud video content "VK Video," "Zena" and "OK.Video"
VK has combined the video content of the VK Video, Zen and OK Video platforms into a single storage based on its own development - one-cloud. Its volume exceeded 1.5 exabytes, or more than 1.5 billion gigabytes - according to VK estimates, this is the largest video content library among Russian platforms. All VK Video content is collected in the repository: shows, clips, videos, author's video, TV series, VK Play streams and exclusive VK Originals content, VK representatives told TAdviser on August 29, 2024.
According to them, in the summer of 2024, the peak download volume of new content reached 1 petabyte per day - these are millions of units of video content from videos bloggers and dramas to user content, cartoons and sports broadcasts.
Thanks to the creation of the cloudy library, the reliability of video storage has increased. In the event of a possible failure of individual storages data centers data , the is automatically restored and copied to new media.
"We are creating and implementing new technologies for storing and delivering video content so that both users and authors can interact conveniently with any of the VK platforms. Thanks to a single repository, it was possible to minimize duplication of content: if users re-download the same video to one of the platforms, then the repository automatically removes duplicates. We will also be able to better train our recommendation systems, helping authors to increase coverage, and users to find relevant and interesting content, "Sergey Vkontakte Lyajin told CTO" "and" VK Video.
