High Performing Secure Connections to AWS Case Study

This case study details the challenges and solutions faced by a prominent European sports network during its digital transformation to deliver a fully digital streaming service. The organization aimed to provide extensive coverage of over 100 sporting events, totaling more than 4,000 hours of content, including 900 hours of live action, to over 20 million unique viewers. To achieve this, the network required a reliable and secure connection to Amazon Web Services (AWS). The solution involved leveraging CloudLink by Zayo to establish a private connection between the network's data center in the Netherlands and AWS’s infrastructure in London and Amsterdam. This setup enabled secure, high-speed connections for live video feeds, which were processed through AWS’s MediaLive and Media Package services. The case study highlights the benefits of enhanced security, increased performance, optimized return on investment, and reliable bandwidth, ultimately facilitating a successful streaming service that reached a record 76 million viewers.
