AWS Elemental

Back to the beginning

Go back to where things started in 2015 with Jeff Barr’s blog post announcing that Amazon had acquired Elemental Technologies of Portland, Oregon. Elemental Technologies was a pioneer in software-based solutions for multiscreen content delivery. Within two years the team launched the purpose-built AWS Elemental Media Services to transport, process, originate, and monetize video.

Today, thousands of AWS Elemental customers and partners deliver outstanding viewing experiences to millions of viewers, powering everything from video-on-demand catalog conversions to corporate streaming to the world’s largest live sporting events.
