Insights
Harmonic's new central management system for hybrid streaming enhances operational efficiency while reducing costs through intelligent cloud/on-premises resource allocation.
Harmonic's introduction of an advanced central management system represents a strategic enhancement to their hybrid streaming solution portfolio. The system addresses a critical market need by enabling video operators to seamlessly manage workflows across both cloud and on-premises environments through a unified interface.
The technology solves several key operational challenges in the streaming industry. By automating content migration between on-premises and cloud environments based on content freshness and popularity, the system optimizes storage and egress costs - two significant expense categories for streaming providers. This intelligent resource allocation maintains high-demand content on-premises while shifting less popular assets to the cloud, creating a cost-efficient content delivery framework.
The system's architecture demonstrates sophisticated engineering by maintaining transparency with the content management system during migrations, ensuring uninterrupted service delivery. Additionally, the disaster recovery capabilities provide essential operational resilience that streaming services require for maintaining continuous service.
This product positions Harmonic advantageously in the evolving streaming infrastructure market, where providers increasingly seek flexible hybrid architectures rather than pure cloud or on-premises solutions. The timing aligns with industry trends toward optimizing infrastructure costs while maintaining service quality - particularly important for providers managing large content libraries with varying demand profiles. The inclusion of server-side ad insertion support also indicates potential revenue enhancement opportunities for Harmonic's customers beyond pure infrastructure cost optimization.
Advanced Workflow Management Simplifies Streaming Operations and Lowers Costs
"Hybrid streaming is rapidly becoming the standard as it lowers the total cost of ownership of any streaming platform and can temporarily leverage the public cloud to handle peak demand for specific events, such as high-profile live sports," said Eric Gallier, vice president, video customer solutions at Harmonic. "With the new central management system, operators can easily control streaming services no matter where they are located — whether on-premises, in the cloud or across both."
The central management system for Harmonic's hybrid streaming solution offers several key advantages, including:
Unified control across on-premises and cloud environments
Through a single, intuitive user interface, the central management system enables operators to easily create, configure and monitor any linear channel on the streaming platform, with the flexibility to run it only on-premises or not.
Automated rules-based operations
Harmonic's hybrid streaming solution optimizes storage and egress costs by keeping fresh, high-demand VOD, nPVR and live-to-VOD assets on-premises while shifting less-popular content to the cloud. The central management system is critical to this process by automating content migration from on-premises to the cloud based on rules such as content freshness and popularity. Content migration is transparent to the content management system (CMS), ensuring seamless operations.
Resilient streaming workflows
The central management system enhances operational resilience and disaster recovery in hybrid environments. Service providers can leverage the cloud for built-in redundancy, geographic diversity and robust failover options to back up the entire on-premises infrastructure in case of failure.
Harmonic's hybrid streaming solution powers a wide range of video use cases, including linear channel and VOD streaming, time-shift, catch-up TV, network PVR as well as server-side ad insertion.
Harmonic will demonstrate the advanced central management system for its hybrid streaming solution at IBC2025, Sept. 12-15 in booth 1.B20.
