Dicentia Achieves Massive Time Critical Project with Telestream Vantage Cloud Subscriptions 08 December 2014

By provisioning complete Vantage domains on AWS, Danish multi-media specialist encodes 20 feature films in 24 hour period with minimal operational expenditure
Vantage Cloud Subscriptions saved the day for us without this service we would not have had a product to show our customer the next day, so said Kasper Holme Johannesen, managing director of Danish home entertainment multi-media supply chain specialist Dicentia. The company is an early user of Telestream Vantage Cloud Subscriptions, a new service that provides a broad range of enterprise-class transcoding and file-based workflow automation for Amazon Web Services (AWS) on AWS Marketplace.
Not only did Dicentia use this new cloud-based encoding service, it fully tested the system's scalability and resilience by encoding 20 feature films within a 24-hour period in order to deliver an order on time to one of its VoD customers.
The Herculean one-off task facing them was to encode these 20 feature films, resizing them and burning in local Scandinavian language sub-titles - all within a 24-hour period. While the Dicentia team has the skills and experience required to meet these timescales, the big challenge was to source the necessary encoding facilities. Working with Telestream's local Danish channel partner, Alleroed-based Tech2Net, the team decided their best option lay in Vantage Cloud Subscriptions, even though the system was untried by them, having been launched by Telestream less than a month earlier.
Even though Dicentia was an existing Vantage user, they had no experience whatsoever with Vantage Cloud Subscriptions or AWS. However, they were quickly able to access the cloud-based service and start working on the encoding task. With the ability to securely provision anywhere in the world, content creators can define the scale, location and performance of virtual Vantage domains, allowing them to deliver products and services to their customers and organizations.
Getting started with Vantage Cloud Subscriptions was very easy. Installing the Telestream Vantage Cloud Manager software on to our system took around 30 minutes, and once installed you don't notice the difference in operation from our traditional Vantage encoding system, commented Bj rn Petersen from Dicentia's engineering team. It provides a seamless add-on to our existing Vantage platform, taking files from our servers and delivering them back once they're completed. It worked perfectly.
As well as providing all the additional encoding facilities that Dicentia needed at very short notice, Vantage Cloud Subscriptions proved to be a highly cost-effective production platform for the facility. In this situation, where we needed the resources to encode 20 feature films immediately, Vantage Cloud Subscriptions proved to be tremendously good value for the money, and already we can identify a lot more opportunities to use it within our business operations, commented Kasper Holme Johannesen. In a facility such as ours, you never know how big your workload will be from one week to another. Now, whenever we need to, we can open up this cloud service and respond as fast as the situation demands. This is a fantastic add-on for established Vantage users.
