Case Study: Granicus achieves scalable hybrid government video streaming with Wowza Video

How Granicus Powers Hybrid, GovernmentGrade Video Streaming at Scale with Wowza

Granicus, a trusted government technology provider serving more than 7,000 public-sector organizations, needed a video infrastructure that could reliably support both cloud and on-prem environments for public meetings, services, and archived recordings. To meet those demands, Granicus relied on Wowza Video to standardize streaming workflows across diverse customer deployments while maintaining flexibility, control, and scalability.

Wowza Video helped Granicus implement a hybrid architecture with Granicus-managed cloud servers and customer on-prem deployments feeding centralized distribution, plus a CDN pull workflow for simpler delivery. The results included nearly 70 cloud Wowza instances and 100+ on-prem deployments, consistent government-grade streaming at scale, and an archive workflow that routes video from Amazon S3 through Wowza to CloudFront, creating a path toward autoscaling and improved operational efficiency.
