Telestream Unveils Vantage Cloud Subscriptions

Telestream has unveiled Vantage Cloud Subscriptions, a new service that provides a range of transcoding and file-based workflow automation for Amazon Web Services (AWS) on AWS Marketplace.

Vantage Cloud Subscriptions are an extension of on-premise Vantage transcoding and provide discretionary capacity for managing demand peaks, prototyping new concepts and deploying cloud-based media services.
With Vantage Cloud Subscriptions, transcoding farms can be purpose-built and collocated with content libraries stored on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
When a team wants to test a new idea or concept for creating additional revenue streams, Vantage Cloud Subscriptions enables them to run a new prototype environment. Since redundancy is built into AWS, disaster recovery can be provisioned when needed, as opposed to requiring a separate building with its own inherent maintenance and staff to keep software current and synced.
"For customers currently utilising or considering secure storage on AWS, Vantage Cloud Subscriptions are a great way to process the media in the cloud and turn what traditionally would have been a capital expense into an operating expense," said Paul Turner, VP of enterprise product management at Telestream. "The near limitless scalability goes both ways, as users can pause or shutdown servers the moment they are no longer required, creating a true on-demand service for themselves and their customers."
Vantage Virtual Domains, scaling from a few to hundreds of servers, are provisioned in as little as 15 minutes using AWS. Pricing is flexible with pay-as-you-go pricing for each instance of a virtual Vantage domain or transcode server.
"We are very pleased that Telestream is bringing Vantage Cloud Subscriptions to AWS Marketplace," said Barry Russell, Head of Business Development for AWS Marketplace, Amazon Web Services Inc. "Customers can quickly and easily launch Vantage Cloud Subscriptions from AWS Marketplace and gain access to effective transcoding and file-based workflow automation tools."
