Challenge
In response to the media industry’s shift towards digital media and the rapidly increasing demand for fast and secure data transferral, ITV Studios needed the infrastructure to provide seamless, secure and fast delivery of its high-value data from their world-renowned facility on London’s Southbank, across the UK to and from its numerous collaborators.
Solution
ITV Studios migrated to a multi-Gbps capable Sohonet architecture at their facility to achieve this, implementing the Sohonet Media Network to support its UK operation, and ensure the secure and fast delivery of their content. ITV now has the ability to collaborate directly with hundreds of partners and clients worldwide who are already utilising the Sohonet Media Network for reliable and secure file transfer, while benefitting from bursting capabilities offered by Sohonet. Sohonet’s Modal Average Pricing allows customers to run their infrastructure at far higher utilisation levels thereby minimising expenditure on unneeded bandwidth by leveraging a simplified burst management capability.
Result
ITV recognise how important a role their network infrastructure plays in the delivery and creation of high-value media assets. ITV now have the ability to transfer large amounts of video quickly, reliably and securely while minimising costs.
