From disabling the firewall for every townhall to corporate video that stays inside
A Turkish bank with more than 2,000 branches replaced external streaming with Agora — SSO logins, per-user viewership, an internal CDN that sends video to each branch once, and thousands of times less external traffic.

Challenge
Every internal broadcast or training session meant paying heavily for external internet, while employees tuned in from whatever they had — desktops, phones, anything. The security team's biggest pain was the network edge: all that heavy video traffic hit the border traffic filter, which had to be switched off during each broadcast just to keep things moving. The bank was also flying blind on viewership — it could not see who actually watched, let alone nudge employees to complete a training video.
Key Results
- •External traffic down thousands of times over
- •The border traffic filter no longer needs to be disabled during broadcasts
- •Every employee logs in through the corporate directory (SSO / LDAP)
- •Per-user viewership: the bank can see who watched what, and remind staff to complete training
- •Internal CDN delivers video to each branch once; external CDN sends it out once for remote staff
About the Project
Client's Goal
Run townhalls and staff training across 2,000+ branches without gutting the security gateway every time, without paying a fortune for external internet, and finally knowing who actually watched.
Our Solution
The bank deployed Agora, Flussonic's on-premises corporate video platform. Every employee now signs in with an identity tied to the corporate directory, so access is controlled and viewership is attributed to real people — training teams can see who has not watched yet and send a reminder. Two CDNs do the heavy lifting: inside the bank, an internal CDN carries the video to each branch only once, no matter how many employees are watching there; for staff outside the office, an external CDN carries the video out of the headquarters only once to a relay node, which then serves remote viewers. The border traffic filter stays on at all times.
Results
Key Achievements
- •External internet traffic for video fell thousands of times over — the stream no longer leaves the network once per viewer
- •The security team no longer disables the border filter during broadcasts — the edge gateway keeps running normally
- •Single sign-on through the corporate directory gives every viewer a real, accountable identity
- •Training completion is now measurable: admins see who watched what and can follow up
- •Internal CDN + external relay keep the content in a closed loop, viewed only by the bank's own people
