Streaming and audio visual company Sharpstream has upgraded to a triple site infrastructure with C4L to provide 'bullet-proof' streaming services for radio and TV broadcasters globally.
Sharpstream customers including the Premier League and the Ministry of Sound use multiple infrastructure connections supplied by C4L.
Network consultancy from senior Network engineers at C4L has led to the design of a new BGP topology including provision of new Juniper routers as a rented offering. As well as further improving resiliency, the principle reason for the upgrade was to gain more control of their routing strategy, and supply Sharpstream with even more traffic management.
By managing their own core services using coreTX - Sharpstream now has more flexibility to offer to its customers. They can now build core streaming environments on the fly to suit a variety of different applications, due to the careful planning before the roll out.
Additional Tier 1 transit options give Sharpstream the confidence and scale to further develop their International offering while also giving them an easy upgrade path should they wish to add more POPs - nationally and internationally.
Claire Osmond, Account Director at C4L, said: "Sharpstream has been a loyal C4L customer for five years, using C4L's infrastructure to host and deliver a lot of the streaming content, required in live time for some huge names in the media industry."
