Big Blue Marble has become a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. Through the partnership, customers can deploy Big Blue Marble’s modular video architecture on AWS while supporting EU sovereignty requirements, including data residency and EU-based operational governance.
Big Blue Marble said it can now begin adopting and validating its modular video architecture on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud as part of a phased approach to supporting sovereign media workflows. It added that this enables broadcasters and content owners to start evaluating how critical processing, protection, and delivery components could be operated on AWS infrastructure under European sovereignty constraints, without committing to disruptive platform changes upfront.
Krzysztof Bartkowski, CEO at Big Blue Marble Streaming and Cloud Media, said: “For a long time, sovereignty requirements have made it challenging for many organisations to move core media workflows to the cloud. With the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, we can help our customers run live and on-demand services on AWS with European data residency and EU-based governance. This means they can apply cloud services to day-to-day production workflows without adding compliance risk.
