BENEFITS

How our solution solves your transport problems

Provide quality service

Live media cloud routing with a reliable encrypted video transport as well as multiple protection alternatives, and a resilient infrastructure as well as comprehensive protection alternatives

One touch end-to-end management

Remotely control appliances and create routing services in seconds, all with an intuitive interface with advanced end-to-end live monitoring tools with clear demarcation

Use your existing infrastructure

Easily integrate your appliance in Nimbra Edge and take full advantage of their capabilities in the cloud interop with your current third-party services using the RESTful API.

Lower cloud costs

The highest cost for cloud distribution is cloud egress costs. Nimbra Edge allows for implementation in any cloud in any combination (e.g., public and private cloud). This flexibility allows for planning and optimizing cloud resources as egress, making larger implementations more cost-effective.

Powerful built-in features

Synchronized playout to simultaneously deliver your content to all destinations and multiple stream protection capabilities.

Expand your business

Reach new opportunities and market segments where expensive traditional technologies cannot compete.
