Business challenge: To launch its closed-captioning, subtitling and

voice-over platform as a software as a service (SaaS) solution,

MediaWen International needed to team with a cloud hosting provider

offering data center presence in Asia, Europe, North America and South

America. The company required a flexible, highly scalable cloud platform

to support its workloads, which include large video files, and allow user

access from locations worldwide.

Solution: MediaWen evaluated leading cloud solutions, including

Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and SoftLayer cloud technology.

Impressed by the SoftLayer platform’s performance and interested in

teaming with IBM for long-term business growth, the organization

provisioned a powerful SoftLayer bare metal and virtual server

infrastructure in the SoftLayer Paris data center. MediaWen introduced its

new offering at the IBM InterConnect 2015 conference and will sell the

solution through the IBM Cloud marketplace. Solution component Services
