NBCUniversal is a leading media company that operates several popular television networks and streaming services, including the Peacock streaming platform. As the demand for streaming services continues to grow, NBCUniversal identified the need to improve its video content processing capabilities to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted streaming experience for its customers. Quantilus fulfilled the need by developing a scalable cloud-based video processing service.
NBCUniversal faced several challenges in its video processing pipeline, including scalability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The existing infrastructure was unable to handle the growing volume of video content, resulting in delays and buffering issues during streaming. Additionally, the hardware infrastructure required frequent maintenance and upgrades, resulting in significant overhead costs.
Quantilus designed and implemented a cloud computing infrastructure capable of processing large volumes of video content in real-time, enabling NBCUniversal to ensure the seamless delivery of video content to its customers.
Quantilus utilized several advanced technologies and tools, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Docker, and Kubernetes, to develop a scalable and reliable video processing pipeline. The solution included components for content ingestion, content management, media processing, content delivery, user management, and analytics. By using these advanced technologies and tools, Quantilus was able to ensure that the streaming service’s pipeline was fulfilled continually, providing a high-quality viewing experience for Peacock’s users. The solution also incorporated features such as auto-scaling, load balancing, and failover mechanisms, ensuring high availability and scalability.
The cloud infrastructure used to process and store the video content was designed with security in mind, including features such as network segmentation, data encryption, and intrusion detection & prevention.
The cloud-based video processing service provided NBCUniversal with several benefits, including:
The partnership between NBCUniversal and Quantilus resulted in the development of a highly scalable and reliable cloud-based video processing service. This solution enabled NBCUniversal to improve the quality of its streaming services while reducing overhead costs. The project demonstrates the value of leveraging advanced cloud technologies and tools to develop scalable and cost-effective solutions for media companies.
