The Challenge

The modern media business landscape is dynamic by nature, subject to a rapidly changing environment in which customer expectations and evolving requirements can shift just as quickly. It is not without its own set of unique challenges and demands, and it is with no surprise that customers recognize the necessity in being able to start their initiatives promptly and hit the ground running. To stay ahead of the curve in today’s markets, both speed and agility are key. However, the volatile nature of this business means that adjustments to initial plans are often necessary to capitalize on emerging opportunities or address changing trends.
 
Beneath these challenges lies the task of establishing and sustaining a modern infrastructure. Clients often grapple with the complexities of this endeavour, which extend beyond technical considerations. It entails building an ecosystem that not only supports the immediate project, but also lays the groundwork for scalable growth and adaptability. It isn't solely about deploying cutting-edge technologies; it's about constructing a durable and flexible foundation capable of withstanding unforeseen changes.

The Timeline

VidiNet Kick-Start offers standardized deployments with an initial "vanilla" configuration for MAM, PAM, or MSC solutions, resulting in significant reductions in project timelines. This package is comprised by the popular VidiNet products along with pre-configured workflows. When opting for VidiNet Kick-Start on AWS, the typical deployment period is as short as 2 days, and in some cases, even just a few hours.
 
Once deployed, a fully operational system becomes available and can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements. This customization can be achieved through the user-friendly no-code configuration interface, VidiNet ConfigPortal, or the highly effective BPMN-based workflow engine, VidiFlow.
 
Unlike traditional methods that hinge on establishing a fixed and exclusive IT infrastructure, often taking months to set up, VidiNet Kick-Start thrives on the scalability of AWS services. It's crucial to underline that in most instances, VidiNet Kick-Start deployments adopt a hybrid approach, allowing seamless integration with on-premise storage or legacy systems, such as NRCS and video servers.

 

The Architecture

The architecture of a VidiNet Kick-Start solution is in most cases hybrid. All VidiNet products run in the AWS cloud and make use of AWS manages services.
 
Improved Data and Operational Security: With AWS managed services, your data and operations are fortified by advanced security features. Robust encryption, continuous monitoring, and access controls ensure that your valuable information remains secure against potential threats.
 
Stronger Regulatory Compliance: Meeting industry-specific regulations and compliance standards is made easier through AWS managed services. Built-in compliance tools and adherence to best practices assist businesses in achieving and maintaining compliance without unnecessary complexities.
 
Reduced IT Operating Costs: Transitioning to AWS managed services can lead to significant cost reductions. By eliminating the need for hardware provisioning, maintenance, and management, businesses can optimize their IT budget and allocate resources more effectively.
 
Simplified Application and Environment Management: Managing complex applications and environments becomes streamlined with AWS managed services. Through automated provisioning, scaling, and maintenance, the management process becomes more efficient, freeing up valuable time for innovation.
 
Faster Time-to-Market: Agility is essential in today's competitive landscape. AWS managed services allow businesses to deploy applications and resources swiftly. This agility translates into accelerated time-to-market for products and services, providing a crucial competitive advantage.
 
Elastic Scaling: AWS managed services offer the ability to scale resources up or down based on demand. Elastic scaling ensures that your infrastructure can handle varying workloads, optimizing performance and minimizing costs during periods of lower demand.
 
The integration of on-premise third-party systems takes place via the VidiNet Server Agent (VSA), a software installed on the local infrastructure. VSA facilitates secure synchronization and seamless file transfer between local storages and the VidiNet system hosted on the AWS cloud. Moreover, VSA incorporates VidiCoder, a tool that transcodes growing media files into proxy format and transfers them to the AWS cloud. This transcoding capability extends to other high-resolution media formats as needed. This approach not only eliminates the need for costly high-resolution file transfers to and from the cloud, but also establishes a robust connection between all on-premise systems and the VidiNet infrastructure within AWS.
