Now TV Steps Up its Game to Deliver a World-Class Streaming Experience for the FIFA World Cup
Scoring big with unmatched live streaming
Now TV is one of the pay-TV providers in Hong Kong, known for its wide range of channels that cater to sports and entertainment enthusiasts. When Now TV was chosen as the official broadcaster for the FIFA World Cup 2022, it had to cope with a large increase in website traffic.
To provide a seamless streaming experience during the 2022 FIFA World Cup with no downtime or interruptions, Now TV turned to AWS Managed Services and AWS Enterprise Support. By adopting these services, Now TV streamlined operations, ensured high availability, and decreased its cloud expenditure by 15%.

With AWS Managed Services, Now TV was able to streamline its operations by entrusting critical, yet undifferentiated tasks such as infrastructure security, backup management, and patching to AWS. This not only enabled the company to ensure optimal performance, but also eliminated the need to spend time and resources on recruiting and training additional personnel, allowing Now TV to focus on more strategic initiatives.

Thanks to AWS Enterprise Support's around-the-clock monitoring, hands-on assistance, and incident management, Now TV can focus on providing its customers with exceptional service and driving business growth, without worrying about the complexities of IT infrastructure management.
