Scalable Cloud-Based Video Processing Optimization for Media Enterprises

A global media organization is experiencing slow and inefficient video processing workflows within its cloud infrastructure. The large volumes of data transfer across regions are increasing latency and incurring higher costs. The existing architecture lacks scalability and flexibility, hindering rapid processing and optimal resource utilization. The client aims to modernize and optimize their video processing system to reduce expenses and improve throughput without expanding their overall infrastructure costs.
