Harmonic VOS Cloud SaaS Behind Movistar+ Streaming Service

Harmonic VOS360 Cloud Streaming offering.
Telefonica Spain has deployed Harmonic’s VOS360 cloud streaming platform for disaster recovery. Telefonica Spain’s entire infrastructure for its Movistar+ platform is replicated in the cloud.
“Viewers today expect flawless video streaming. To ensure solid service continuity, we needed a reliable, cost-effective and flexible solution,” said Eugenio Lojo, head of transmission and conditional access, Telefonica. “Rather than recreating our physical infrastructure at a backup location, we successfully replicated the configuration on the cloud using Harmonic’s VOS360 platform. This redundant service is not only cost-saving, it’s also flexible and ensures our ability to test new channels and deliver short-term events as our video streaming service evolves.”
The VOS360 SaaS provides rapid scaling, enabling Telefonica Spain to quickly secure the entire channel lineup or just a single channel for the duration of a premium event. Based on a pay-per-use business model, Harmonic’s service is activated on demand, providing the operator with the flexibility to pay for services as needed, whether it’s for a day, week or month.
“Traditionally, disaster recovery systems have been inflexible and costly to replicate. But Harmonic is transforming that notion,” said Shahar Bar, SVP, video products and corporate development, at Harmonic. “The VOS360 platform’s cloud-based recovery service can be activated in minutes, which is a testament to the speed and elasticity that our recovery-in-the-cloud service provides.”
