Gorilla Technology will be deploying its collaboration platform as part of CloudSigma’s Media Services Ecosystem, launched one year ago to address the specific needs of media industry service providers and production companies. Service providers like Gorilla Technology have to meet rapidly escalating content demands within an increasingly global industry, including the long-distance exchange of high-resolution files that can easily reach terabytes, if not petabytes. CloudSigma’s public cloud, with its high scalability, 40 GigE networking and on-demand resource provisioning, provides the flexibility and dynamic cloud resources that Gorilla Technology’s customers need to allow easy transfer and sharing of broadcast-quality, high-resolution clips and metadata.
“Our customers work on demanding projects, usually across multiple sites, for widely varying periods of time, so we need a way to rapidly scale and accommodate their content demands, wherever and whenever they occur,” said Dr. Spincer Koh, Gorilla Technology Group CEO. “CloudSigma’s cloud infrastructure gives us that flexibility, so we can provide a service that facilitates production collaboration for the scale of the project that is required.”
Since launching in April 2012, CloudSigma’s Media Services Ecosystem has more than doubled in size. CloudSigma’s already extensive and rapidly growing presence in North America and Europe gives Gorilla Technology easy access to its U.S. and European customers. Combined with its high scalability, CloudSigma’s global reach ensures that Gorilla Technologies can deliver both the resource and global reach that is required for effective digital media collaboration.
“Our approach to IaaS is very customer-centric, because we’ve made an effort to listen and understand the needs of different public cloud customers,” said Robert Jenkins, CloudSigma CEO. “For instance, the Media Services Ecosystem is a direct response to the pain points of our media service provider customers. In the past, companies would literally fly tapes from one production house to another, but that’s simply not practical when you’re dealing with petabytes of data in a global industry. For collaboration in today’s media industry to work, the effective use of public cloud infrastructure is absolutely essential.”
