Case Study: a Fortune 500 direct broadcast satellite operator launches a low-latency OTT service with Mirantis Cloud Platform and Harmonic VOS Cloud

a Fortune 500 direct broadcast satellite operator launches OTT service in less than 2 months with Mirantis

A fortune 500 direct broadcast satellite operator faced the challenge of rapidly launching a competitive over-the-top (OTT) service to capitalize on the growing market of cord-cutters. They needed to deploy a new service offering live and on-demand content with high video quality, low latency, and minimal capital expenditure on an aggressive timeline. The operator partnered with Mirantis to implement a solution using the Mirantis Cloud Platform.

Mirantis and its partner Harmonic delivered a cloud-native media processing solution on the Mirantis Cloud Platform, a scalable private cloud based on OpenStack and Kubernetes. This solution enabled the operator to launch its OTT service with little to no CapEx in under two months. The results were significant, with the service attracting more than 200,000 subscribers in its first two months and scaling to support over 250 channels delivered to any screen.
