Case Study: iStreamPlanet boosts scalable live video streaming with Microsoft cloud solutions

Online Video Provider Streams Live Events and Live Linear to Connected Devices

iStreamPlanet, a provider of live video streaming services for major events, needed a scalable, flexible, and cost-effective hosting environment for its new Aventus software solution. The challenge was to move away from a capital-intensive, hardware-dependent model for live linear streaming to a more automated and affordable cloud-based infrastructure.

Microsoft provided a solution using Windows Server 2012, Hyper-V, and Microsoft System Center 2012 to create a private cloud. This implemented solution gave iStreamPlanet a trusted, high-performance platform that reduced costs and increased customer confidence. The results included immediate credibility with major broadcasters, superior monitoring capabilities that helped resolve customer issues proactively, and significant cost savings that were passed on to clients, boosting iStreamPlanet's competitiveness and revenues.
