Tata Communications, a provider of A New World of Communications, has launched its Media Ecosystem, combining traditional video contribution services with IP-based connectivity to create a global media platform. The new ecosystem enables seamless global transport and management of content as a cloud-based managed service and supports global media distribution requirements, over the top (OTT) and mobility applications.

Tata Communications’ Media Ecosystem provides customers with access to services on demand and reduces costs - ultimately enabling new formats, new services and new channels. The cloud based Media Ecosystem includes asset management, workflow management, cloud-based playout, automation and control, storage and OTT platforms as a service. These functions are underpinned by a combination of Tata Communications’ unique network services offerings including its IP network, Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Video Connect. 

Tata Communications’ IZO Internet WAN service, which offers business-class SLAs across Internet connections has also been integrated with the new ecosystem, widening the opportunities for professional video sharing.

Brian Morris, Vice President & General Manager, Global Media & Entertainment services, Tata Communications says, “Our new ecosystem enables our media customers to realise the rich benefits of IP and cloud as a managed services offering to stay competitive in this fast-paced industry. Our platform takes the best of our traditional broadcast services, combines it with the power and flexibility of a virtualised infrastructure that accelerates time to market, reduces operating cost and brings a rich content experience to viewers across the globe.”

Tata Communications delivers connectivity backed by the company’s global fibre network. Today, over 24% of the world’s Internet routes travel over Tata Communications’ network and the company is the only Tier-1 provider that is in the top five by routes in five continents.
