Deployment Methods:

Cloud Connect With the Bitmovin Cloud Connect capability, you and your streaming platform have a highly customizable option to leverage the Bitmovin VOD Encoder within your own cloud infrastructure on AWS. This service processes all VOD encoding within your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environment, significantly enhancing data privacy and security and helping to reduce overall costs.

Additionally, Cloud Connect is advantageous for you since you have predefined cloud credits, helping you manage costs effectively and utilize the resources that you already have. Using the Spot Instances offered by Amazon and customized cloud hosting deals further helps you cut expenses while maintaining high encoding efficiency.

Managed Cloud Utilizing the Bitmovin VOD Encoder within the Bitmovin managed cloud gives you access to a fully managed service designed to simplify your video encoding process by letting Bitmovin handle all aspects of your cloud encoding workflow. This option is perfect for streaming platforms looking for a hands-off approach, allowing them to focus more on content rather than technical intricacies.

The Bitmovin managed cloud service eliminates the need for direct maintenance of cloud infrastructure, and with the Bitmovin orchestrator, the configuration and management of AWS instances in specific regions can be set up automatically or selected by the user, employing auto-scaling and container provisioning to ensure optimal performance and cost efficiency.

For custom plans, Bitmovin also provides Private Offers through AWS. For more information, please contact sales@bitmovin.com
