Oracle Cloud powers new Video, Gaming, and Sports streaming Service providers

Oracle Cloud infrastructure has been selected by leading content providers like Phenix, Net Insight, Mynet and Oracle’s Gen-2 cloud to support growing global demand as live streaming continues to represent a huge portion of all internet traffic.

According to Go-Globe, live streaming is expected to account for 82% of all internet traffic this year. As the popularity of streaming content continues to grow, providers are looking for technology partners to support their global growth and massive data demands.

Oracle’s modern, second-generation cloud is built and optimized specifically to help enterprises run their most demanding workloads securely. With unique architecture and capabilities, Oracle Cloud delivers unmatched security, performance, and cost savings. Oracle’s Generation 2 Cloud is the only one built to run autonomous services, including Oracle Autonomous Linux and Oracle Autonomous Database, the industry’s first and only self-driving database. Oracle Cloud offers a comprehensive cloud computing portfolio, from application development and business analytics to data management, integration, security, artificial intelligence (AI), and block chain.

 “We architected our cloud specifically for low latency and high, consistent performance, making it an ideal platform for live streaming. We are seeing companies around the globe take advantage of our unique architecture and low networking costs to reach their customers in real time,” said Vinay Kumar, Vice President of product management at Oracle.

Phenix sought a cloud infrastructure solution that could deliver uninterrupted video streams that are tailored to the internet connection speed and quality of millions of end-user devices.

“Most streaming providers today don’t deliver an optimal user experience due to rebuffering, latency, and audience drift. We rely on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for rapid scalability when an event suddenly gains thousands of new viewers. Phenix enables users to watch real-time content synchronously regardless of the device, operating system, or network connection quality,” said Dr. Stefan Birrer, Chief Software Architect and co-founder, Phenix.

Net Insight facilitates television streaming for the Olympics, Super Bowl, Oscars, and other major live events, and offers people and resource management for TV streaming projects during these events.

“We needed a cloud solution that could support our goal of making our platform available as a service, so we could provide our customers with a more complete analysis and real insights from all the scheduling data they gather. The combination of Oracle Autonomous Database and Oracle Analytics Cloud provided the most complete, clean offering on the market. Not only are we able to securely house that 20 years of data, we now have the ability to gain critical business insights from it in real time. In addition to offering a superior solution—no other database self-heals, self-tunes and self-secures—the high level of customer support provided by Oracle played a critical role at every level of the entire project,” said Crister Fritzson, CEO, Net Insight.

Mynet aims to provide gamers with an “exciting space over a longer time.” With a business model based on working with game makers to create a longer life for online titles, Mynet sought an online game operation platform for “Age of Ishtaria,” a beautifully-illustrated, fast-paced, action battle role-playing game (RPG).

“A stable environment is essential in online game operations, and providing a space where users can enjoy the game over a long period of time is a huge benefit to our customers,” said Yuki Horikoshi, general manager of engineering, Mynet Inc.
