Da Vinci Gmbh challenge

Da Vinci as a global content provider needs to deliver content to multiple distant locations. In many cases delivering linear channels over satellite or leased lines is too expensive and difficult to set up and maintain. Furthermore, to provide the best quality for Da Vinci customers, backup connections need to be provided what generates additional costs. In order to stay competitive, Da Vinci was looking for a reliable, secure, and cost-effective way to maximize the global reach of content. The company trusted the Quickstream™ Node solution.
