The next step is virtualising the whole infrastructure, which is a much bigger undertaking. When Zixi customers consider making that move, they rely on Zixi‘s expertise to shepherd them along the way. For example, last year the American television music service, Music Choice, made the switch from satellite to primary distribution over IP. Founded in 1987, the company broadcasts audio-based music channels with video-related content to multichannel video programming distributions. Music Choice approached one of its technology partners, Harmonic, about moving its decades-long satellite
distribution to IP and were immediately referred to Zixi. The entire transition was completed in four months. “We were able to put together a complete end-to-end solution for the company, leveraging its existing hardware. We provided the software platform, then had the cloud infrastructure, primary and alternative workflows ready to go,” says Cooney. “This kind of transition is starting to happen more and more. We worked with others over the past year, but as the calendar turns to 2021, I think there are a lot more companies looking to make at least an augmentation, if not a complete move off satellite.”
IT’S EASIER THAN YOU THINK TO MOVE FROMA SATELLITE- RECEIVED SIGNAL TO ONE THAT IS IP-BASED
