Brazil. Globo is migrating its playback workflow to the cloud with Harmonic. As an end-to-end solution with one channel playback, advanced branding, transcoding and delivery capabilities, VOS cloud-native media software enables Globo to launch linear playback channels faster, increase its workflow efficiency and reduce expenses.
"Today, Globo's linear channels reach more than 100 million people across multiple platforms, and we want to continue to provide a cutting-edge experience to our customers on every screen," said Mauricio Felix, Globo's chief technology officer. "Adopting a cloud-based workflow will keep us at the forefront of technological innovation. We chose Harmonic as our strategic partner based on its mature cloud-native media software solution, extensive experience in cloud playback deployments, and world-class local support."
Globo will integrate VOS media software with an Aveco automation system to streamline its playback operations. Advanced software, which runs seamlessly on Google Cloud, provides Globo with greater scalability, flexibility, and reliability. VOS software connects and synchronizes all microservices for each workflow, from start to finish.
"Harmonic's VOS Media software puts Globo in the position of being the first media company in the LATAM region to offer 24/7 channels with a cloud-based streaming and automation solution, which is an amazing achievement," said Gil Rudge, Senior Vice President of Products and Sales for the Americas for Harmonic's video business. "By offering unparalleled agility, resiliency, security and scalability, our VOS Media software will enable Globo to easily expand streaming channels as its business evolves."
