AMSTERDAM, Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Following last week’s full commercial launch of the Eluvio Content Fabric – Casablanca Release and the announcement of new strategic partner and Content Fabric user Bedrock, Eluvio today announced the expansion of its European business and unveiled its comprehensive plans for IBC 2024.
Eluvio is demonstrating its full stack solution for live streaming, PVOD, FAST channels, and video archive monetization at scale, and new customers and partners worldwide. Today, Eluvio announced the expansion of its European business with the appointment of Glenn Broere as EMEA Commercial Director and the launch of its Content Fabric operations team in Europe to support its growing streaming and archive monetization business. Eluvio also disclosed European Professional Club Rugby (EPRC) as a new customer, and a new solution partnership with Videon focused on Eluvio’s growing business of live sports streaming through the Content Fabric. Eluvio will showcase the Casablanca release, and its latest customer use cases at its stand in Hall 8 and in the AI Zone. Its new C2PA-Compliant Content Provenance and verification will also be a key technology in the IBC Accelerator Project “Design Weapons Fight Against Disinformation.”
The Eluvio Content Fabric – Casablanca Release is a next-generation content distribution and storage protocol providing ultra-fast, efficient, tamper-proof streaming, download and monetization of video at scale. It provides advanced streaming and AI discovery features that solve the biggest problems facing media companies by dramatically reducing investments in clouds and CDNs and opening new engagement and revenue opportunities. The software protocol significantly simplifies distribution by replacing file workflows with a hyper-efficient streaming and delivery pipeline in protocol. This dramatically reduces the bandwidth and storage compared to clouds and CDNs and slashes cost and carbon, and enables unlimited re-use of the same content (no files/egress), personalization without compromising scale, and built-in security, authenticity and rights. The latest Casablanca release, Creator Studio App, Media Wallet, Video Editor, Embeddable Player, Content Analytics & Reporting App and AI Content Understanding Apps are built on the Eluvio Content Fabric
“At IBC 2024, we’ll demonstrate how the Content Fabric is solving the generational problems of legacy video delivery in terms of complexity, cost, and innovation,” said Michelle Munson, CEO and co-founder of Eluvio. “Together, with some of our newest customers and partners, we’ll showcase our business momentum with new streaming, monetization, and AI discovery solutions being deployed across the globe.
