Migrating a live video streaming platform from public cloud to bare metal
How did they do it? Fireside chat with Noice and i3D.net
In under a year, Noice migrated their streaming stack onto bare metal infrastructure and integrated hardware transcoding at scale.
- Improved video quality, reach, playback stability, and ingest stream stability
- Reduced transcoding costs and decimated streaming expenses
- -Regained full control over the infrastructure, fully prepared and enabled to scale globally.
