(NYSE: CTL) recently announced its Vyvx suite of fiber-based broadcast services now provides secure, high-performance connectivity into Amazon Web Services (AWS), including AWS Elemental Media Services, via AWS Direct Connect. Called Vyvx Cloud Connect, the new network service provides broadcasters as well as studios and stadium venues across the United States an easy path for getting live and linear video into and out of the cloud. "While cloud-based workflows make live OTT-video delivery significantly more scalable and agile, the delivery of that content from TV broadcast centers into the cloud to prepare it for Internet-based delivery is still dependent on broadcast distribution networks," said Jim Davis, contributing analyst at Structure Research. "With this service, the CenturyLink Vyvx network can directly route broadcast TV content to AWS and give customers peace of mind knowing their streams are managed, monitored and protected.".
