To enable media processing capabilities everywhere and
optimise the distribution of OTT services, MediaKind has launched its one-stop
streaming services on the Google Cloud Platform.
With the ability to deliver broadcast-quality level
and premium experiences across all networks, Aquila Streaming provides
significant video bandwidth savings, end-to-end low latency and large storage
reduction, thus, offering support for all qualities of live video service up to
Ultra-HD.
Angel Ruiz, CEO, MediaKind, says: “As consumer demand
for live streamed content reaches an all-time high, service providers must find
ever more creative methods to deliver quicker and more affordable OTT services
at scale.”
MediaKind’s cloud-native Aquila Streaming solution can
be deployed on bare metal, private cloud, or in any cloud service provider.
Through its integration into the Google Cloud ecosystem, the company can also
provide access to a broader range of media applications and workloads through
the cloud, in areas such as containerisation, artificial intelligence (AI),
machine learning and the growing network of Android TV and Google Ad Insertion
solutions, whilst offering a fully-managed solution.
Thus, MediaKind customers will now be able to scale
quicker, rapidly spin channels up with ease and respond to multi-format
requirements with minimum or no delay at all.
Furthermore, MediaKind’s
disaster recovery in Google Cloud removes the need for a second headend system
– the combination of Aquila Streaming and Google Cloud enables local headend
services and applications to be backed up and can be restarted rapidly when
required.
By leveraging the
Google Cloud Platform Marketplace, MediaKind plans to further extend its Aquila
Streaming solution capabilities later this summer, offering self-provisioning
availability.
