Nevada City, California, October 25th, 2018 – Telestream, a leading a leading provider of digital media orchestration and delivery solutions, today announced that Los-Angeles-based Adstream, a global digital asset management and advertising delivery technology company, with headquarters in London, has chosen both cloud and on-premises deployments of the Vantage media processing platform to automate its high-volume media transcoding and quality analytics needs. Through its global ad services network, Adstream enables the world’s major brands, advertising agencies, and media and entertainment companies to better manage the speed, quality, and costs of their ad campaigns.
Instead of engaging in the laborious, time-consuming process of contacting and managing siloed suppliers, such as production companies, post houses, and broadcast networks, Adstream gives users a single portal where they can quickly assess the status of their ad campaigns, make decisions and changes, manage media assets, and control costs at every stage of the process.
Vantage automates many of the most demanding, time-sensitive creative, production, and distribution tasks that involve media processing. “We chose to build on Vantage because it’s a proven, full-featured automation platform, and we trust Telestream to further expand its capabilities to address changing market needs,” commented Steven W. Brown, Chief Operating Officer/North America, for Adstream.
With a customer base of over 27,000 businesses and over 2 million media assets in its cloud storage environment, Adstream has now converted its Telestream Vantage media processing platform to a fully virtualized configuration that seamlessly dovetails with its AWS-based infrastructure.
“By adopting this Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud model, which enables automatic dynamic scaling up or down, we now have greater operational flexibility to handle the peaks and lulls of our workload. We can instantly provision whatever level of compute power we need to satisfy customer demand, and cloud-based pay-as-you-go pricing enables us to better control costs,” said Brown.
Adstream’s virtualized Vantage is now cost-effectively leveraging AWS dynamic scaling to swiftly handle transcoding demands, seamlessly accommodating workload fluctuations. To date, Adstream has integrated Vantage and other technologies to create end-to-end workflows and services for many cloud-based processes such as:
