With its Media XStream platform, Caton Technology becomes an AWS Managed Service Provider, enhancing global IP transmission.
Caton Technology, renowned for pioneering cloud-based IP network transport solutions, has reached a new milestone by successfully completing the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Foundational Technical Review (FTR) for its Media XStream platform. This accomplishment establishes Caton as an AWS Managed Service Provider Partner, further solidifying its position in the industry.
The FTR process is crucial for AWS partners, focusing on the identification and remediation of risks in products or solutions. Through this review, AWS partners adhere to specific guidelines and best practices for security, documentation, reliability, and operational excellence within the AWS Well-Architected Framework. Caton Technology’s achievement with the FTR underscores its dedication to maintaining high standards in its service offerings.
Caton’s Media XStream addresses the challenge of transmitting high-value content globally via the public internet. Despite its ubiquity, the public internet is often unreliable and unpredictable. Media XStream combats this by integrating high-quality content delivery with a management network powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning. This technology assesses potential signal routes and dynamically selects the most efficient path based on quality, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
Caton’s approach guarantees an exceptional level of reliability, offering 99.9999% availability. This ensures continuous, error-free service, even in challenging conditions. The data processing and stream routing are seamlessly managed within Caton Cloud, a highly specialized cloud service.
Michael Yang, Senior Vice President at Caton Technology, highlights the impact of this advancement. “Caton Media XStream is a unique and valuable solution to a real issue for broadcasters and production companies globally,” he said. “There is an ever-growing demand for content, for higher resolutions and for timely delivery of live sports and events. At the same time, practical economics mean that leased lines and satellite delivery is no longer viable.”
“The public internet – for all its problems – is the right way to go,” Yang continued. “What we have achieved in developing Media XStream, and are delivering in collaboration with AWS, is a technology platform that eliminates the problems of the internet, creating an intelligent platform to deliver the most valuable content, completely reliably, with guaranteed security, and with simple set-up and no operational demands. Our distributed cloud architecture complements exceptionally well with the centralized architecture of AWS. Completing the AWS FTR is another key step in demonstrating the effectiveness of our solution.”
