Global Cloud Xchange Enables Broadcast Media Communications to Scale Out Broadcast As A Service Globally

LONDON, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Cloud Xchange (GCX), a subsidiary of Reliance Communications (RCOM) today announced that Broadcast Media Communications (BMC) has successfully deployed BMC Global Media Network across GCX Cloud X nodes in Palo Alto (California), Hong Kong and London, offering media companies global access and full workflow orchestration through the Broadcast as a Service (BaaS™) Suite of software solutions by BMC.

"Consumers today expect rapid evolution and expansion in their choice of content experiences, making it a priority for broadcasters and media companies to accelerate their technology innovation to keep pace," said Tim Horsfield, Co-Founder and CEO of Broadcast Media Communications. "By leveraging GCX Cloud X platforms to scale out our BaaS™ offering globally, we can now combine traditional broadcast functions with a secure private cloud environment that enable functionality and work flow to suit the strategic business requirements of the media industries."

Cloud X is uniquely designed to deliver applications on a virtualized infrastructure, enabling automated deployment of on-net Cloud services across GCX's privately owned global fiber optic network. The Cloud X platform supports network transparency — a key element in accelerating enterprise applications to the Cloud.

"Our Cloud X orchestration portal will not only simplify infrastructure deployment but also de-risk migration to the Cloud for leading broadcasting customers such as BMC," said Braham Singh, SVP of Global Product Management, Reliance Communications & Global Cloud Xchange. "We are very pleased to further expand our relationship with BMC and support their business growth globally."

This announcement follows last year's successful broadcast of Spain vs England match from Rico Perez Stadium in Alicante, Spain to ITV London studios.
