Under the terms of the agreement, Tata Communications' Content Delivery Network (CDN) will be integrated with Kaltura's open source online video platform, to create an end-to-end, cloud-based video platform that will provide consumers with the best possible digital experience when viewing content, regardless of device and geographic location. Content acquisition, transformation, publishing, billing, monetisation and delivery can all be handled through one simple application interface.

Ron Yekutiel, Kaltura Chairman and CEO, says, “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. 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.”

“The single application interface allows content owners to focus more on creating quality content for both on-demand and live delivery and less on media workflow and distribution,” says Genius Wong, Senior Vice President of Global Network Services at Tata Communications. "By joining with Kaltura, we are making executing online video strategy easier than ever. We can now offer a one-stop solution for online video workflow that gives cutting edge features, while extending the global reach of customers”.
