Video content production and delivery technology firms Harmonic and Mirantis are partnering on a media processing solution for live and video-on-demand (VOD) production on OpenStack.

The company says that they will ensure interoperability of Harmonic's VOS Cloud media processing solution and Mirantis' cloud platform, allowing customers to manage the entire media production and delivery workflow for broadcast and over-the-top (OTT) applications on standard IT hardware in a scalable cloud environment.

The companies said the joint solution has successfully been deployed by a leading North American service provider, and is in numerous trials with other service providers worldwide.

“Harmonic and Mirantis share a common belief: that video content production and delivery should be simple, agile and efficient,” said Boris Renski, CMO and co-founder of Mirantis. “Our work with Harmonic expands the scope of media processing in the cloud. Service providers can use the joint solution to launch new broadcast and OTT services with amazing video quality and a short time to market.”

“Unleashing the power of VOS Cloud software on the Mirantis Cloud Platform will stimulate monumental change in the industry, allowing video content and service providers to compete on a level that was never possible before, in terms of speed and flexibility,” said Bart Spriester, SVP of video products at Harmonic. “We chose Mirantis as an ecosystem partner because they're a major player in the OpenStack market and provide a robust set of OpenStack control-plane services that can be used with best-in-class infrastructure.”
