Infrastructure-as-a-Service for Media

Keys to Media Success in the Digital Era.

The online marketplace has revolutionized the way we connect with the media that we consume. And as the advancements that enable even greater user experience continue to evolve at an amazing pace, media enterprises are reaping the benefits that the technology provides. But with these opportunities come challenges. The reality is that all media enterprises are clamoring to find a new application, new infrastructure and new processes to gain a competitive advantage. As margins are squeezed due to the rising cost of managing IT ecosystems and speed-to-market can make or break a campaign or the loyalty of a client, the cost of exploiting these technologies is skyrocketing. Savvis can help.

Publishing.

The traditional publishing world has been turned on its head. Getting products to market faster, printing on demand, and supporting a mix of traditional print and online publishing capabilities are just some of the changes that publishers have been struggling with.

With Savvis Infrastructure-as-a-Service, publishing firms can:

  • Stay competitive in a rapidly evolving marketplace. With new business models emerging and competition from non-traditional players escalating, the complexities of keeping a publishing concern operational are growing.

Music, Movies, and Gaming.

The entertainment industry is in the midst of a major transition. Time to market is accelerating. Security risks – especially those associated with protecting intellectual property (IP) – are growing more complex. And the capital expenditures required to expand infrastructure capabilities are increasingly prohibitive. As music, movie, and gaming firms move to a digital and – increasingly – online distribution model, the need for a robust and flexible infrastructure that scales to meet consumer demand for content as well as supports internal operations is critical.

With Savvis’ Infrastructure as a Service, you can:

  • Support the transition to the digital marketplace. The shift to a digital online distribution model is putting strains on your existing IT capabilities. Support your business without having to think twice about your infrastructure.
  • Protect against mounting security threats. Risks are multiplying even as they become more sophisticated. Let us worry about them.
