Case Study: MediaEvent Services achieves 20x growth in live webcasting with Amazon Web Services

MediaEvent Services Launches Innovative Webcasting Service on AWS, Sees 20x Growth

MediaEvent Services, which runs the SlideSync SaaS platform for live webcasting, needed a way to scale major events from near-zero to tens of thousands of viewers in seconds while maintaining high video quality. After moving from on-premises infrastructure to Amazon Web Services, the company could better support live events across Europe and worldwide, especially in the DACH market and through reseller partners.

Amazon Web Services helped MediaEvent Services deliver live streams with Amazon CloudFront and automate live transcoding with Amazon ECS. The result was more reliable high-definition delivery, faster scaling, and lower operational burden: traffic grew more than 2,000% year over year, the company can support up to 30 daily events with only one staff member on standby, and it achieved 20x growth overall.
