Globecast – Stand 4 . C16
The broadcast , media and

platform provider will be
highlighting the latest advances
to its cloud strategy , benefitting
both customers and SaaS
providers . Having led the way
with cloud playout since 2018 ,
the last year has seen significant
acceleration of the company ’ s
proposition as the broadcast ,
media , and entertainment sector
increasingly recognises the
benefits of cloud use across the
video value chain .
Earlier in2023 , Globecast
developed and launched the
first video public cloud video
headend , powered by AWS , for
a major European telco . The
telco , a returning Globecast
customer , wanted to optimise its
video headend capabilities for
its IPTV and OTT services , with
an initial scope of 380 channels
and 1,400 streams and a key
objective to move to an OPEX
environment , alongside greatly
increased flexibility in terms of
adding and removing services .
After extensive consultation , the
customer could clearly the see
the benefits of using the cloud
for the core capabilities , though it
did want to keep some functions
on premise : content acquisition
and encryption , as well as some
other , very specific add-ons .
Globecast is uniquely positioned
to provide flexible , hybrid

solutions . All video processing
functions are carried out in the
cloud , with redundancy provided
using different zones .

With elastic Hybrid-cloud CDN
architectures , we can deploy
smaller , high performance onpremises
caching tiers which are
augmented with cloud-based
caches that can be spun up to
meet peak demands , thereby
reducing energy waste and
cutting power bills by 25 per cent
or more .”
