MediaService
Your own video service under your brand — on your infrastructure. The platform covers the entire video journey: from ingest and transcoding to the storefront, subscriptions, advertising and AI services.
01 — What we offer

The platform core is already running in production. We adapt it to your needs, your brand and your infrastructure.
Turnkey
We take care of everything — requirements analysis, implementation, support and custom development for your needs.
Fast launch
The platform core already works — you go live in months, not after years of building from scratch.
White-label

06 — Running costs
Cloud or your own servers
Estimate for a conservative scenario: 2 million active users, 5 Gbps average load, 150 TB of storage.
Pay monthly, no hardware investment
$5–10K
per month for infrastructure
$0
upfront investment
Days
to get infrastructure running
- Pay for actual usage — you can start small
- Capacity is added on demand, with no procurement or delivery wait
One-off investment plus a fixed fee
~$100K
one-off for servers (CAPEX)
~$2K
per month for rack, power and bandwidth
1–3 years
payback vs. renting
- The hardware remains your asset; the monthly fee is fixed
- Capacity is purchased upfront, with headroom for peak load
Cloud is cheaper to start; own servers are cheaper to run and pay back within 1–3 years
