Harmonic Enhances Globo’s Playout Workflow with Cloud Migration

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 28, 2024 — Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) recently announced that Globo, the largest media conglomerate in Brazil, is transitioning its playout workflow to the cloud with Harmonic. The cloud-native VOS® Media Platform from Harmonic offers Globo a comprehensive solution for channel playout, branding, transcoding, and delivery, enabling the company to launch new playout channels faster, improve workflow efficiencies, and reduce costs.

“Today, Globo’s linear channels reach over 100 million people across multiple platforms, and we want to continue to provide a state-of-the-art experience to our customers on every screen,” said Mauricio Felix, technology director at Globo. “Adopting a cloud-based workflow will keep us at the forefront of technology innovation. We chose Harmonic as our strategic partner based on its mature cloud-native media software solution, extensive expertise in cloud playout deployments, and world-class local support.”

Globo will integrate the VOS Media Platform with an Aveco automation system to streamline its playout operations. Operating on Google Cloud, the advanced platform provides Globo with enhanced scalability, flexibility, and reliability. The VOS platform connects and synchronizes all microservices for each workflow, end to end.

“Harmonic’s VOS Media Software puts Globo in the position to be the first media company in the LATAM region to deliver 24/7 channels with a cloud-based playout and automation solution, which is an amazing achievement,” said Gil Rudge, senior vice president, product and Americas sales, video industry, at Harmonic. “Offering unparalleled agility, resiliency, security, and scalability, our VOS Media Software will allow Globo to expand playout channels easily as its business evolves.”
