Case Study: STV achieves scalable, high-availability streaming with Cloudreach and AWS

STV - Customer Case Study

STV, Scotland's leading media brand, faced a challenge with its existing hosting, which was not suitable for its day-to-day operations or scalable enough for high-pressure live events on its digital platforms. Needing a scalable, high-availability solution for its web tier, the company partnered with Cloudreach to migrate its services to AWS.

Cloudreach built a development environment in AWS and automated server builds using Chef, providing operational support for a seamless transition. This solution gave STV's platform the resilience to handle massive traffic bursts, which was proven during the 2014 FIFA World Cup when its live streaming coverage successfully scaled to meet demand.
