MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
March 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Based on its recent analysis of the media and entertainment
video transcoding market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Envivio
with the 2014 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for Market
Leadership for capturing the highest revenue share in the live
transcoding segment of this market. Envivio has maintained its
segment leadership with continuous investments in R&D toward
features that are not only technically avant-garde, but also
business-critical. Its wide geographic presence and ability to
cater to a diverse variety of customers in terms of service type,
size, and price tolerance have placed it at the head of the live
video transcoding market.
In 2013, the company led the live multi-screen transcoding
segment with a revenue share of nearly 10 percent, which was almost
two percent more than its nearest competitor—a remarkable lead in a
highly fragmented market. Envivio's Muse suite of products provides
encoding and transcoding for Pay TV and multi-screen applications,
including cable, satellite, Internet protocol TV (IPTV), and mobile
delivery to managed set-top boxes, as well as a host of unmanaged
devices such as PCs, game consoles, tablets, smart phones, and
smart TVs. Customers value the convergence that Envivio offers,
since the same products can be used for live linear managed
delivery as well as multi-screen delivery.
"By enabling simultaneous transcoding, protection, and delivery
to managed and unmanaged distribution networks, Envivio has won
significant greenfield business with new IPTV services and is in
demand during head-end upgrades by cable, satellite and IPTV
service providers," said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst
Avni Rambhia. "The Envivio platform
aids the seamless distribution of any combination of TV, mobile,
and broadband services, and can be easily scaled to ingest numerous
channels from any source and transcode them for live, near-live and
on-demand delivery."
The expansion of Envivio's portfolio allows it to offer
virtualized video solutions in a service providers' privately owned
cloud, a public cloud, or a combination of both. This gives
operators the flexibility to launch or scale multi-screen video
services using the efficiencies and elasticity of the cloud with
fast time-to-market, seamless end-to-end integration, and a
pay-as-you-grow OPEX model.
Envivio's product philosophy is centered on generating the best
possible end-user experience in Pay TV, maximizing quality of
experience, while minimizing bitrate. Acknowledging that different
operators have different system requirements, it delivers its
product either as a rack unit appliance with HD/SDI inputs or as
software or virtual image that can be run on a blade server in a
data center. Envivio also presents customer value in less tangible
ways, such as improved channel density.
Traditionally an EMEA-centric company, Envivio today has a
well-rounded global footprint through wins such as Comcast in NALA,
and with Asia Pacific also rising
in prominence. This geographic diversity is important to maintain
its market leadership, as individual regions tend to cycle up and
down in terms of investment momentum.
"Envivio is experiencing particularly strong wins in use cases
where it can offer an all-in-one or 'converged' head end, such as
IPTV/multi-screen, cable/multi-screen or direct to home or digital
terrestrial television/multi-screen," noted Rambhia. "What
resonates with clients is the combined value of improved video
quality, simplified operations, and lower total cost of ownership.
This encourages them to implement their next-generation Pay TV
services on an all software and IP-based architecture powered by
Envivio Muse."
Due to its market-leading position in the live multi-screen
transcoding market, where it continues to maintain its leadership
position against competitors in revenue and mind share, Frost &
Sullivan is proud to bestow the 2014 Global Market Leadership Award
in live video transcoding upon Envivio.
