The first line of attack in making sure your streaming project is successful is making sure it works with your existing infrastructure. In-depth network topology, traffic and quality analysis and testing will help determine if you’re ready; and what it will take to get you there if you aren’t.

Media has to start somewhere. Your server is the heart of your streaming system whether you are broadcasting live or serving on demand content. Wide Area Media offers analysis and testing of your existing hardware as well as prototyping loaner servers to make sure you can take the necessary next steps in specifying and developing your streaming infrastructure.

The most important part of any streaming analysis is to make sure your audience is satisfied. Wide Area Media develops a strict set of content quality guidelines during the testing and development of your streaming infrastructure. What’s more, Wide Area Media tests actual quality through in-depth user experience metrics.

Every phase of your prototype streaming network is documented during requirements gathering and testing to ensure your needs are met and future developments can take advantage of past experience and results.

After your network is in place, Wide Area Media will train your content development, network and server management teams on adding, managing and monitoring content, statistics and servers to ensure you keep up and running after prototyping is complete.

Wide Area Media works with your network managers, systems administrators, support, development and management teams to make sure you smoothly operate your new network.

In the event you need to expand, your servers require service, additional training is required or you need to take advantage of emerging technologies, Wide Area Media offers flexible support and continuing consultation agreements to future-proof your investment.
