Front Porch Digital and Telestream has announced that the companies are collaborating to provide Transcode as a Service (TaaS). Telestream's Vantage transcode platform and Front Porch Digital's LYNXSM cloud-based CSM platform are now combined to offer a new TaaS solution in a private cloud platform that includes pay-as-you-go transcoding services designed specifically for media operations.
"Customers who store their valuable assets in the LYNX private cloud have traditionally had to send those assets over IP to a public transcoding farm in order to complete that step, which not only opens them up to security breaches, but likely doesn't meet their needs. We're extending our long-standing partnership with Telestream to solve this real-world media challenge for our customers. Now, instead of having to rely on public resources, LYNX users can take advantage of secure, purpose-built, usage-based transcoding within the private LYNX cloud," said Andy Hurt, VP of product management and marketing at Front Porch Digital.
The integrated solution gives both LYNX and Vantage customers secure elasticity in their transcoding capabilities.
The Front Porch Digital TaaS solution with Telestream Vantage transcoding will be available later this year.
