Safari Solutions uses Nimbra Connect iT to support content-producer customers with global distribution of media content, without relying on a dedicated third party distribution partner.
Safari Solutions in New Jersey has been able to support their content producer customers with global distribution of media content, without relying on a dedicated third party distribution partner. Their sports content distribution service, operating from point of production to consumer platforms, ensured robust, redundant internet delivery for tier 1 sports and integrated cloud IP and baseband SDI.
Safari Solutions uses Nimbra Connect iT to set up a fully managed service that makes it possible for the end customer to focus solely on the business of content creation and monetisation. The end customer is able to take advantage of a modern distribution model with a lower cost and greater control of its streams and overall brand.
“Net Insight and its Nimbra Connect iT solution have completely changed our approach to content distribution,” said Carl Van Dusen, COO at Safari Solutions. “With the ability to distribute one or more streams to multiple endpoints globally in various formats simultaneously, using cloud resources, we have a tremendous opportunity for global distribution and rights management.”
Nimbra Connect iT unifies operations by supporting remote control of edge encoders, critical visibility into stream health and dynamic stream routing as needed. Operations are also simpler and more reactive, with a single user interface. The result is a fully protected virtual network – with cloud services at the core, using cost-effective hardware at the edge – that serves as a flexible commercial model for occasional use events. Monitoring is also integrated, reducing the number of systems needed.
Designed for content creators, rights holders and regional broadcasters who typically need small to medium networks, Nimbra Connect iT focusses on ease of use, simplicity and speed for content delivery, without sacrificing performance or quality. It includes Net Insight’s Open API to help Nimbra Connect iT fit into users’ infrastructure and integrate with existing systems and tools.
“We are pleased to have Safari Solutions as a Nimbra Connect iT customer,” said Crister Fritzson, CEO of Net Insight. “This highlights our ability to develop robust, reliable, efficient content distribution and delivery, direct to viewers. It means Safari Solutions can focus on their work as a strategic technology partner for customers.” netinsight.net
