Skytide is a reporting and analytics company whose software applications measure the performance of streaming video. Skytide is notable because its software is facilitating the trend by telecommunications service providers (TSPs) to operate their own content delivery networks (CDNs),[1][2][3] in an effort to generate additional revenue from the increasing volume of video flowing over their broadband networks.[4][5][6]
In December 2013, Skytide was acquired by Citrix Systems Inc.
