Vizrt completes AWS FTR process for Viz One bringing MAM to the cloud 

Vizrt has completed the AWS FTR process for Viz One. Achieving FTR status provides broadcasters with further reassurance that the centralised and scalable media asset management platform can be safely migrated to the cloud.

The FTR program helps AWS Partners, such as Vizrt, to establish good architectural habits, eliminate risk, and to demonstrate specific best practices around security, reliability and operational excellence as defined by the AWS Well-Architected Framework. All of this is designed to ensure software runs smoothly on AWS cloud platforms, providing customers with the best possible experience.

Completing Viz One’s FTR process solidifies Vizrt and AWS’s close partnership. It follows last year’s successful FTR completion of the Vizrt Live Production Solution, and Vizrt’s recent acceptance onto the AWS Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Accelerate Program.

Viz One aims to make it easy to ingest, manage, edit and deliver content effortlessly and cost-effectively. Hosting it in the cloud offers scalability, flexibility and redundancy otherwise unachievable with traditional on-premises solutions, providing broadcasters with a media workflow solution that scales as needed.

Earlier this year, the PGA Tour moved its entire Viz One system, over 18 petabytes of historical and current content, spanning more than a century, to AWS.

“Achieving this FTR status demonstrates Vizrt’s commitment to cloud and assures Viz One customers that they can safely migrate invaluable archives and workflows to AWS, as PGA Tour has done,” stated Jochen Bergdolt, head of Vizrt’s MAM business unit.

“Combined with previous FTR completions and joining the prestigious ISV Accelerate Program, content creators and broadcasters can have full cloud confidence across Vizrt’s live production and MAM tools, knowing that they meet AWS’s strict software and security standards – ensuring better success for our customers and end users, reaching our purpose of more stories, better told.”
