Tata Communications has announced a partnership with Kaltura that will combine its Content Delivery Network (CDN) with Kaltura’s open source online video platform.
With the integrated offering, the companies aim to provide an easy way for media companies and enterprises to manage the entire video process, from acquisition to delivery.
Tata Communications operates an extensive network of subsea cables and Tier 1 IP networks. Kaltura is a New York-based software company that makes products to allow publishers and content owners to publish, manage, monetize and analyze their video and other rich-media content.
The partnership will essentially see Tata Communications and Kaltura combining their expertise on an end-to-end, cloud-based video platform that reduces the complexity of the video workflow and distribution to content providers.
The platform will be capable of handling content acquisition, transformation, publishing, billing, monetization and delivery--through a single application interface.
“The partnership with Tata Communications enables us to give our customers a cutting edge solution for management and delivery of content to the end-user,” said Ron Yekutiel, Kaltura Chairman and CEO.
“Not only does it streamline content management with Kaltura’s leading platform, but it also assures that even large video files are delivered quickly and in the highest quality via Tata Communications’ global Content Delivery Network.”
