Case Study: European Broadcasting Union boosts video streaming reliability with Severalnines ClusterControl

European Broadcasting Union - Customer Case Study

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU), a leading alliance of public service media, faced a challenge as its small IT team was stretched to manage 16 open source databases powering its video streaming services, especially during peak viewing times. They required world-class expertise and technology to ensure their systems remained online and could handle massive growth. To address this, they turned to Severalnines and its ClusterControl platform.

Severalnines implemented its ClusterControl solution to automate and manage the EBU's high-availability database clusters, supported by a 24/7 enterprise subscription. This provided the IT team with a single dashboard for monitoring and management, allowing them to act quickly on performance issues. The solution from Severalnines resulted in the EBU saving the cost of one full-time database administrator annually and freed the team to focus on new business initiatives like mobile services, with the confidence that their backend was completely protected.
